Santa Barbara Sights: A Local’s Guide to Montecito
No one knows their town like a local, right? You may be familiar with Montecito because of celebrities or the royal family (No, I haven’t seen Harry and Meghan yet, unfortunately), but I was lucky enough to grow up here. Patrick and I were fortunate to move back to Montecito in 2019, and we hope to stay in this quaint and serene part of Santa Barbara. I’ve previously given you a rundown of SB’s popular Funk Zone area, but now it’s time to cover my own neighborhood!
Go-to Dining & Drinks:
Panino — casual with delicious sandwiches
Bettina — this is our favorite pizza place in all of SB
Los Arroyos — great food and margs and live music at times
The Honor Bar — hit up the restaurant or the to-go market
Sakana — cozy spot with amazing (and our favorite) sushi
Oliver’s — vegan restaurant with a gorgeous patio
Rosewood Miramar Beach — big fan of the beach bar, but the Manor bar is lovely too
Jeannine’s — wonderful brunch and lunch with lots of outdoor seating
Blender’s — to-go smoothies
Mesa Burger — casual burger spot
