Restaurants Open on Christmas in Long Beach
After all the shopping has been done and all the gifts have now been opened, you may find yourself less than enthused about cooking Christmas breakfast/lunch/dinner.
Here are some great places in Long Beach offering a delicious and relaxing alternative to spending the big day wrapped up in your kitchen.
ARIZE BISTRO
BREAKFAST REPUBLIC
After a morning of ripping through Christmas wrapping, head over to Breakfast Republic (5313 2nd St) for an upbeat atmosphere and creative twists on comfort breakfast favorites. Bright decor, friendly energy, and hearty plates from pancakes to scrambles to breakfast dessert carts–yes, that’s a thing–create a cheerful setting ideal for a fun, holiday morning.
Known for its lively Spanish music, dancing and energy, Cafe Sevilla (140 Pine Ave) is a wonderful place to keep the festive vibes flowing throughout Christmas. Along with its usual delicious menu of small plates, tapas and paella, this popular Downtown Long Beach destination is also offering a three-course dinner.
QUEEN MARY
Celebrate Christmas in grand style aboard the Queen Mary (1126 Queens Hwy). Choose from a meal at The Promenade Café or the Chelsea Chowder House & Bar for an unforgettable holiday meal.
CITY CRUISES
Celebrate the magic of the season on the water with City Cruise’s (Rainbow Harbor, Dock 6A) Christmas Premier Brunch Cruise on Christmas morning from 11am-1pm. Enjoy a freshly prepared holiday brunch, offered buffet-style, with full bar service. While on board, experience exceptional views, live entertainment, festive décor, and, yes, unlimited mimosas. Or you can dress up post-presents and enjoy a Christmas Premier Dinner Cruise with the big man himself, Santa Claus, from 5pm-7:30pm.
FUEGO AT HOTEL MAYA
Fuego at Hotel Maya (700 Queensway Dr) is offering a delicious four-course prix fixe dinner on Christmas from 5-9pm. To get yourself in the festive mood, check out one of the many holiday-themed cocktails, then check out the entrée selection that includes maple leaf duck breast, local seabass, herb-crusted prime rib, or gnocchi. Finish with a slice of Yule log cake or a coconut snowball with lemon and raspberry coulis.
LA TRAVIATA
La Traviata (301 N Cedar Ave) exudes an old-world charm and serves award-winning Italian cuisine in a cozy dining room featuring a rather spectacular chandelier. Last year's Christmas menu included La Trav’s lasagna, lobster tortelli, rack of lamb, and braised Barolo short ribs, so you can be sure that the 2025 menu will hit the spot. Enjoy all this within earshot of a tinkling piano and conversation emanating from its friendly bar that sits just off the dining room.
