What you didn't know about Bacari PDR.
Bacari PDR reflects the rise of modern Mediterranean-inspired small plate dining that has reshaped California's restaurant scene.
Rather than focusing on large individual entrées, restaurants built around small plates encourage guests to share dishes across the table, creating meals that unfold gradually through many flavors and textures. This approach draws inspiration from the tapas traditions of Spain and the mezze culture of the Eastern Mediterranean. The format emphasizes social dining, seasonal ingredients, and layered flavors, olive oil, herbs, citrus, roasted vegetables, and grilled seafood forming the backbone of many dishes.
How to fold Bacari PDR into your trip.
Bacari PDR fits beautifully into an evening spent exploring the quiet coastal charm of Playa Del Rey.
Start by walking Culver Boulevard between Vista Del Mar and Pershing Drive, where the road runs alongside Dockweiler State Beach and ocean breezes move through the small beachfront community. After watching sunset over the Pacific or exploring the nearby wetlands, settle into a table at the restaurant where small plates and cocktails arrive in steady rhythm while the calm coastal atmosphere carries the evening forward.
