Picture
Thousand Oaks is home to a lot of great, independent local restaurants, and it's also home to a lot of celebrities who prefer to blend into the scenery, rather than be seen hob-nobbing among the stars in the local, Hollywood party scene. While these celebrities prefer their privacy during their down time, that doesn't mean they don't expect the best restaurants.

Thousand Oaks is full of high-end shopping centers and strip malls, and anywhere you go, there's usually a good, independent restaurant waiting for you stop in. Whether you're in the mood for fine French cuisine, or a casual-dining experience with gourmet and sophisticated flavor... or even just a regular ol' restaurant with nothing special other than great food, Thousand Oaks has a tremendous selection of local restaurants to fit any Foodie's fancy.

Since Thousand Oaks - like the rest of Ventura County's independent restaurants - has  the local produce, seafood, meats and wines at their disposal, there's never a shortage of great ingredients to make great food. What makes it even better is that, given the commonality of celebrities popping in and out of the local restaurants in Thousand Oaks, it seems like Thousand Oaks' chefs are always a little more on their game than you would expect, just in case a Wayne Brady, a Heather Locklear or a Joe Montana comes strolling in wanting a quick bite to eat. You never know who's coming in to eat your latest culinary creation, and when your community is full of celebrities popping in and out of restaurants, let's face it - you'd wanna try harder, too!

Pop in to any local, independent restaurant in Thousand Oaks (by the way, the locals call it "T.O." if you want to try to fit in), and you're very likely to have a great experience. Great ingredients, great chefs and great independent restaurants are around every corner in TO, so you'll never be bored with your meals.
