Great Restaurants Featuring Santa Barbara's Fresh & Local Seafood, Produce, Meats and Wines
 Nothing beats fresh Santa Barbara Seafood.
Santa Barbara is home to some of the world's best independent and locally-owned restaurants thanks to an abundant supply of great, fresh seafood, local meats, tons of nearby independent wineries, and an agricultural environment that produces some of the world's best crops. Best of all, Santa Barbara is right on California's Golden Coast (also known as the Central Coast... but "Golden Coast" sounds better), giving Foodies the freshest seafood available... with plenty of sea-side dining opportunities as well.
Whether it's halibut season, crab season, or whatever season it is, you can bet that the locally-owned restaurants in Santa Barbara will have a tremendous, fresh variety of unbelievable seafood. In fact, the seafood is so good around here that even the mediocre restaurants are still really good when it comes to finding great seafood, sushi, shellfish or pretty much anything that ever lived and swam in the sea. Beyond the seafood at the restaurants in and around Santa Barbara and along the Golden Coast, you'll also find some of the best agricultural land where we grow the best produce you can find. From heirloom tomatoes to grapes to squashes to avocados and everything in between, the selection of fruits, nuts and vegetables available to local chefs and restaurateurs is unsurpassed by just about any other culinary region in the world. |

Santa Barbara's Local WinesThroughout Santa Barbara County, there are tons of wineries, too. California's Golden Coast gives a lot of different wine grapes a unique flavor due to the combination of fog, heat, and a slightly-higher humidity when compared to, say, a Napa wine or a Central Valley (Lodi) wine. Wine tasters can easily turn Santa Barbara County into a month-long wine-tasting trip if you wanted to. In fact, there are plenty of tours to take you through the region at your leisure, so feel free to plan a lengthy trip whenever you get the chance. The wineries and wine bars throughout Santa Barbara County also typically have high-end, yet casual restaurants as part of their facilities, and these local restaurants will often feature locally-grown produce, local meats, local seafood, and, of course, some great wines from Santa Barbara County's Central Coast.
