About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Good for business meals
Charming

Welcome to 'Fête,' brought to you by Chef David Slay where the very essence of celebration, or 'Fête' in French, comes to life in the form of a casual yet stylish bistro, whisking you away to the cozy corners of your favorite Parisian neighborhood.

As you step into our charming establishment, you'll find two distinct rooms that each tell a unique story. The first exudes a minimalistic elegance, adorned with antique caricatures that pay homage to tradition. The second room welcomes you with a whimsical embrace, featuring playful details such as wallpaper adorned with monkeys enjoying cigars and libations one wouldn't typically associate with jungles.

This unique blend of culinary heritage is what makes Fête a haven for connoisseurs of both French and Lebanese cuisine, crafted from the finest ingredients sourced fresh from our very own farm, the Slay Estate & Vineyard.

Bienvenue à Fête!

Delicious and friendly staff! Pâte is a must especially since they are now serving it with housemade chutney, grainy mustard, cornichons, picked cauliflower & onions!

Great food! Great service! We aren’t big fans of high top tables but it didn’t affect our enjoyable dinner. Filet Mignon and Branzino were delicious. Slays wine is great.

Had a reservation at 7pm that I booked the day of with my girlfriend. We arrived at 645 and a sweet young hostess had our table ready and sat us immediately. Upon walking in, we both noticed how inviting and vibrant the energy in the room was, the atmosphere here on a Saturday night is awesome. I ordered the baguette immediately just to get something on the table. It was soo freshly baked it was unbelievable. Our server Tess suggested some of the wines from the Slay vineyard so I had a pilot noir and my girlfriend a vermentino. She loved the vermentino and went on a google rabbit hole to research this grape varietal which was new to us. I got a steak cooked medium rare it was excellent she had the mussels to complement her wine choice and was very happy. Dessert was a chocolate flour less cake (gluten free). It was a damn good way to finish the meal and went well with my pinot. All in all atmosphere was cozy and alive feeling, food was really good, our server Tess was very friendly and her suggestions were greatly appreciated. Fete is a must try if in Manhattan Beach looking for a new experience. Nice job Fete!
