Culver City French Bistro Dining Under a Garden Patio Tree
Enjoy Culver City French bistro fare and cocktails beneath a huge garden patio tree.
🌿 Courtyard Bistro Dining
Simonette operates as a Culver City French bistro tucked inside the Palihotel. A huge tree anchors the garden patio, bridging the indoor dining room with the open air courtyard. Diners start with croquettes or little gems before moving on to plates of gnocchi and house cocktails.
Daily food and drink specials shape the schedule, with happy hour running from 3 PM to 6 PM every afternoon. Guests drop by for mid-priced beers, wine pours, and discounted burgers during those early hours. Tuesdays feature frites night with a house martini, while Wednesdays offer half-price bottles of wine all day. Weekend brunch runs from 10 AM to 3 PM, pairing morning plates with rotating spritz options.
The space suits both early daytime coffee stops and lingering evening meals on Van Buren Place. Simonette provides an intimate outdoor retreat within the neighborhood, keeping courtyard tables comfortable throughout the week.
