Top-Rated Restaurants in Santa Barbara
We track 75 spots in Santa Barbara. Two have earned the top tier.
This is the 2026 class, and it isn't settled — the list moves with the ratings until it locks. What's here now: two Michelin One Stars, Caruso's and Silvers Omakase, both at $$$$. A spot that slips before the year closes doesn't get the award. That's the point.
