Cafe Montana is located appropriately, on Montana Avenue, Santa Monica’s boutique filled shopping street.

While the menu isn’t wildly creative or unique, the space is open and airy, giving way to a comfortable atmosphere to enjoy a couple of my favorites such as their calamari appetizer or their fish specials.

Floor to ceiling windows on the corner lot give good views for people watching, and on my morning runs to Peet’s down the street, I see the breakfast crowd lining the dinging room.

Prices at Cafe Montana are a bit higher than I would expect for the fare that they serve. This is probably due more to the high rents on Montana Ave than anything else. For a nice meal with family or a romantic evening with your date, I do enjoy dinner at Cafe Montana and a stroll down the street.
