North Dirty Kitchen is a hidden gem located in the north in Santa Monica and one of my absolute favourite food spots.

This cozy little cafe sitting on top of a hill (prepare for a little hike) with stunning ocean views offers a variety of daily breakfast and lunch dishes.

My usual order is the Dutch Ovenbaked Pancakes for breakfast or the Tofu Pad Kra Pow for Lunch.

Next to their great food and beautiful location, they own exactly 1 dog, 1 chicken and 1 goat - it's a vibe and I cannot recommend visiting this spot at least once highly enough!
