Where to Eat in Monterey
It’s no surprise that upon arriving in a new city most of our exploration efforts go towards experiencing as many good food spots as humanly possible — we can only eat so much after all!
Following an incredible tour of some of the most prominent culinary cities in the country last fall, our taste buds were over the moon. It only seems fair that we share with you the restaurants and coffee shops that stole the spotlight for us.
Let’s blame it on the dreary Pacific Northwest weather this time of year, but we thought we should start with a sunny place, if only to transport us to warmer days.
Monterey, California is a charming seaside community about 120 miles south of San Francisco. With beautiful coastal scenery, abundant wildlife, uncrowded beaches, and a myriad of outdoor activities this city offers something for everyone. Numerous boutique stores, hotels, and restaurants along the waterfront in Cannery Row and Fisherman’s Wharf make downtown Monterey perfect for a dreamy weekend stroll!
If you’re headed to California any time soon, hats off to you, you know exactly when to leave the wet and cold! If not, we hope you live vicariously through this short guide and hopefully plan an escape later this year. Your soul will thank you!
