Five Restaurants to Check Out in Santa Barbara


Santa Barbara has a diverse food scene full of fantastic restaurants. New restaurants open regularly ranging from chic fine dining to casual family fare. I wrote about my favorite pizza place earlier this week, here are five more restaurants that you should add to your travel itinerary.

Andersen’s Danish Bakery & Restaurant | https://andersenssantabarbara.com
Home of handcrafted European cuisine and Danish pastries, Andersen’s is a charming restaurant and bakery located on State Street. While you can just stop by to pick up a pastry as you stroll around, take an afternoon to enjoy their high tea. Served on a tiered tray you will sample a variety of sweet and savory Danish-style treats from apple streusel to tea sandwiches. A little different from a traditional English tea, it’s a fun cultural experience for any tea lover or special occasion.

Beachside Bar-Cafe | https://www.beachside-barcafe.com
Located in Goleta, enjoy ocean views and a changing seasonal menu of fresh seafood. Be sure to get a window seat if you can because the view is worth the wait. Right on the beach, you get an unobstructed view of the ocean as you dine. With great lunch specials, this is the perfect stop after a morning on the beach. In addition to the seafood, they also serve a fantastic tri-tip sandwich.


Boasting a menu of artisan pizza and Italian cuisine this is a great spot to grab some dinner after a day of shopping on State Street. You can’t miss the yellow umbrellas located in by the La Arcada Plaza, grab a patio seat if you can. They source their produce locally, so be sure to check out their salad and appetizer menus. The heirloom tomato and burrata salad is simple in execution, but delicious with ribbons of fresh basil and fresh cracked pepper. I haven’t had the chance to try their pizza menu, but the creamy pesto and smoked chicken orecchiette is worth consideration.

Old Town Coffee | https://otcoffeeshop.com
Another Goleta favorite, this coffee shop is worth a stop for more than just their latte menu. With empanadas from Buena Onda and donuts from Hook and Press in their pastry case be sure to come hungry. You can’t go wrong with any of the empanada options (though the prosciutto was a personal favorite and the brown butter donut is a must. The cafe has ample seating making it a great place to meet a friend or get some work done, but parking can be a little tricky depending on the time of day.


Easily one of the best weekend brunch spots in Santa Barbara. The seating area is relatively small, so arrive early if you want to guarantee your spot. While the specials change regularly, one constant is their spectacular take on chicken and waffles. Perfectly tender chicken with crisp, flavorful skin paired with just the right amount of syrup on a fluffy waffle. Bliss.

What are your Santa Barbara favorites? I’m heading back to the area later this year and am always excited to try something new.
