Venice Beach has long been defined by its connection to the Pacific—its rhythm, its openness, and its proximity to the ocean. Soon, that coastal energy will be reflected in a new dining destination: Damian Marisquería, an upcoming concept expanding the Damian universe to Venice Beach with a focused approach to Mexican seafood.
Building on the reputation of Damian in Downtown Los Angeles, Damian Marisquería introduces a format shaped by the coast—lighter, more fluid, and deeply connected to the sea.
A Natural Evolution Toward the Coast
Damian Marisquería is not a reinvention, but an evolution. Venice Beach offers a setting where Mexican coastal traditions and Pacific ingredients feel instinctively at home.
The concept draws inspiration from marisquerías found throughout Mexico’s coastal regions—places where seafood, freshness, and immediacy define the experience. In Venice, this approach translates into a restaurant designed for both intention and ease, reflecting the neighborhood’s relaxed yet discerning character.
What to Expect from Damian Marisquería
While distinct from its Arts District counterpart, Damian Marisquería shares the same commitment to quality, clarity, and thoughtful execution.
Guests can expect:
- A menu centered on seafood and coastal flavors
- An experience designed to feel lighter and more spontaneous
- A space that invites repeat visits, whether for a casual lunch or an extended evening
The focus is on balance—allowing ingredients and setting to guide the experience rather than imposing structure.
Why Venice Beach
Venice Beach represents a different pace of Los Angeles dining. It is social, outdoor-oriented, and closely tied to its surroundings. Damian Marisquería is shaped with this context in mind, offering a restaurant that feels rooted in its neighborhood rather than imported into it.
The proximity to the ocean, the Westside dining culture, and Venice’s creative energy make it a natural home for a seafood-driven concept grounded in Mexican tradition.
A New Chapter for Damian in Los Angeles
Damian Marisquería marks an important expansion within Los Angeles—one that allows the brand to explore a new format while staying true to its core values.
As anticipation builds ahead of its opening, Damian Marisquería is set to become a key addition to Venice Beach’s dining scene, offering a Mexican seafood experience shaped by the Pacific, the neighborhood, and a clear sense of purpose.
Coming Soon to Venice Beach
With its focus on seafood, setting, and simplicity, Damian Marisquería introduces a new way to experience the Damian philosophy—one designed for the coast.
