Best Restaurants in Santa Barbara
The American Riviera, with a fork in hand.
Santa Barbara eats like the coast it sits on — sun, wine, and no rush. Uni pulled from the channel, Funk Zone tasting rooms, and farm-tables fed by some of California's best growing land make it a low-key heavyweight. Julia Child retired here for a reason.
