A guide to all things Santa Barbara. We are always chasing summer and this California coastal town is the perfect spot to soak up sunshine all year round. Keep reading for our favorite places to save for your next trip.
RESTAURANTS
-Stonehouse at San Ysidro Ranch (Perfect special occasion spot. The ambience was out of this world. So dreamy and picturesque!)
-Tre Lune (The best meal we had! Delicious Italian food, great service and a celeb hot spot)
-The Honor Bar (Great salads & margs. You must order the dip duo to start)
-Lucky's (Popular steakhouse in Montecito. Amazing dirty martini & all the sides are *chef's kiss*)
-Bettina (Casual, trendy spot for pizza, salads and wine)
-Jeanine's (Cute spot for breakfast, they have multiple locations in SB and Montecito)
-Montecito Coffee Shop (Old pharmacy turned diner serving simple breakfast. Definitely a local spot, everyone there were regulars and lived in Montecito.)
DRINKS:
- Rosewood Miramar Beach (My favorite spot. Highly recommend sunset cocktails at Caruso's. It's right on Butterfly Beach and the views are beautiful).
- Boathouse at Hendry's Beach (I never pass up a blood orange margarita and this was one of the best I've ever had! You can dine at the restaurant or grab drinks to go and sit on the beach like we did)
-Kimpton Canary Rooftop (Our hotel had an amazing rooftop with a pool - perfect for enjoying morning coffee and a spritz later in the day)
SHOPS:
-Coast Village: So many great shops in this area. Our favorites were Angel and Maison K
-Montecito Country Mart: This was my favorite shopping area as they had a lot of unique boutiques. Favorites were Mate Gallery, Clic and Hudson Grace. Grab a coffee at Merci.
-State Street: (Diani + Diani Shoes + Diani Living are all amazing!)
