Food Scene

Best burgers around. The beef is grass-fed and the veggies are fresh. Try the fries with three sauces for a treat!

This place is a local legend. The deserts are to die for. If you are gluten intolerant, try the coconut macaroons. Unbelievably good.

This is a hole in the wall place that is worth seeking out for an incredible sandwich. It's a local favorite for high-quality meats. The sandwiches are legendary. There's not a lot of seating, so I recommend taking the sandwich with you to a nearby park, or for a drive over to the beach in Santa Cruz. There is often a line for lunch, so consider calling in your order in advance. It seems chaotic in the tiny space, but they are actually pretty fast getting the customers what they ordered.

The only restaurant in the valley that is Michelin rated. Three stars. The only restaurant with a better rating on the West coast is French Laundry- in Napa. People come from around the world to eat here. It’s a special place.

A great place for breakfast. Huge delicious portions. They now serve cocktails! Try the mimosa’s, they are wonderful! Bring cash, they don’t take credit cards. There is an ATM on site but the fee is high.

Delicious Southern New Orleans food. Is it truly authentic? You decide. But it has some wonderful dishes. And great cocktails. Make a reservation or eat at the bar. Be warned, the gumbo is spicy!

Sightseeing

Downtown is a local dining and shopping hot spot. There are many wonderful restaurants and fun boutique shops to browse. The downtown area has retained its traditional feel with historic architecture. On weekends you will find it a bustling place with lots of pedestrians from all areas enjoying the local flavor. You will find restaurants of all types, wine bars, a nightclub, small boutiques and even a few chain stores there.

Essentials

While Lundardi's is not the cheapest grocery store around, they have the best produce and meat. They've recently expanded and now offer some hot food selections, including breakfast. Definitely the freshest and best quality produce in the area and a top quality butcher shop in back. They also carry an extensive wine selection.
