Chamberlains of London – Belles Beach House opened on October 19 at the end of Windward Avenue in Venice. Located in the laid-back neighborhood, the venue offers a unique blend of Hawaiian relaxation and izakaya-style cuisine. With a spacious, open-air design and Tiki-inspired cocktails, it delivers a tropical atmosphere perfect for the Westside. This new addition comes from the Wish You Were Here dining group, known for their success with upscale lounges. Belles Beach House marks the group’s expansion into a more casual yet sophisticated dining experience.
Belles Beach House brings a Tiki lounge vibe to Venice, surprising some who didn’t expect it in the area. While classic Venice spots like Hinano have elements of Tiki style, Belles takes it a step further. The interior feels like a scene from the show “White Lotus,” thanks to its swanky décor and breezy atmosphere. With teak sliding doors and no enclosed walls on three sides, the space feels open and airy, resembling an outdoor patio. Overhead heaters keep the space comfortable, while an additional outdoor patio offers more seating for up to 60 guests.

The food at Belles Beach House is inspired by Hawaiian izakaya-style dining. The menu features shareable, snack-like dishes designed to pair with cocktails. Chef Thomas Lim creates flavors that are familiar but elevated. The mochiko karaage chicken nuggets are crisp and flavorful, while loco moco spring rolls filled with gravy offer a unique twist. A miso maple little gem salad with crunchy buckwheat and thin jicama slices is a refreshing option.
Belles also serves a beautiful sushi and sashimi platter that rivals offerings at upscale places like Nobu. The plate’s presentation alone is a highlight, and the fresh fish makes for a memorable experience. Other menu items include wagyu steak with wasabi cream and dried kombu salt, and a barbecue coconut chicken that’s both juicy and savory. Grilled sweet corn ‘ribs’ provide a fun, munchable option perfect for sharing.
The cocktail menu at Belles is just as exciting as the food. The drinks are tropical, refreshing, and perfect for the Hawaiian-inspired setting. Piña colada slushies, mango-passionfruit-tequila drinks, and kiwi-vodka-pineapple cocktails all come garnished with flowers, giving them an extra flair. One drink, served in a clear Tiki mug, shows off a vibrant green tropical hue. These cocktails are the perfect accompaniment to the crunchy, savory dishes on the menu, enhancing the laid-back atmosphere of the restaurant.
