Motif Restaurant at the St. Regis Resort Monarch Beach
A delectable culinary experience awaits with Executive Chef Frederic Castan at the helm. The cuisine of Motif Restaurant is reminiscent of European style cafés and features an eclectic array of dishes. Motif’s warm, inviting atmosphere overlooks the magnificent Pacific Ocean, and with its scenic indoor and outdoor dining available, is an ideal choice for breakfast, lunch, dinner or an extraordinary Sunday Champagne Brunch

"Would have preferred out door dining, but it was beautiful inside as well. Didn't order an appetizer like my husband, but they still brought me a taste of one of their soups. It was excellent and unexpected."

"Food was pretty good, but the service and view were great. There is a small but nice park next to the resort that you can walk around after lunch/dinner."

"The food was pricey, but pretty good. However, the waitstaff could be a lot more attentive. I had to repeatedly ask for drinks and the more water. For a top resort, the staff appeared poorly motivated and did not care much after your ordered ."

"Our mid-week birthday celebration breakfast was lovely. Among the four of us we tried every section of the menu. The server took our questions seriously and made excellent suggestions. The fresh grapefruit was notable--better than our best markets and beautifully presented. I had the chilaquiles and this everyday Mexican dish was a delight--great flavor without too much heat. It was the hit of the table.As far as setting, the room is beautiful although the best morning views can be had from the little cafe."
