ABOUT SIMONETTE :

In the heart of Downtown Culver City, Simonette is an all-day restaurant and bar that combines the elegance of French cuisine with the cheerful friendliness of an American cafe.

Located in Palihotel Culver City, Simonette is the perfect gathering spot for locals and travelers alike. The menu is hearty and simple yet refined by its French nature.

It's shared mussels and a beer at lunch, a hamburger with Dijon served with a side of French-style green beans, or pomme frites.

It's a pork chop and ratatouille served with two martinis at night. It's utilitarian, unpretentious, and totally chic!
