Restaurants & Dining
Our Santa Barbara Favorites
Santa Barbara has a dining scene that rewards curiosity—chef-driven restaurants, tiny neighborhood favorites, exceptional sushi, inventive Mexican cooking, and memorable meals tucked into some of the city’s most beautiful corners.
SANTA BARBARA PUBLIC MARKET
VICTORIA CORRIDOR
A short walk from The Vina, Santa Barbara Public Market offers a lively mix of local food and drink, with casual bites, wine, dessert and favorites like Corazón Cocina. An easy win for all ages.
THE LARK
FUNK ZONE
The Lark is a Santa Barbara favorite for beautifully prepared, seasonal dishes made for sharing. Its warm, lively Funk Zone setting makes dinner feel like a night out.
OKU
WATERFRONT
Oku pairs beautifully prepared sushi with a stylish waterfront setting and an excellent sake selection. The sushi is top-notch, but the steak is just as memorable as the view.
