Big Sur Bakery & Restaurant
This funkily decorated, warmly lit house has offerings that change through the day and season. Wood-fired pizzas and stellar burgers share the lineup with more refined - but just as satisfying - dishes like wild salmon with succotash. The bakery pours the best coffee in Big Sur and sells its own house granola. In the words of one local, 'their ham and cheese croissant is...mwa! Tasty shit.' Poke around the spirit garden next door.

Big Sur Roadhouse
The Fosters opened this Roadhouse after working together at Sierra Mar, the Post Ranch Inn's posh eatery. Thankfully, they've chosen to share with us fresh, impeccable cuisine (like plantain tostones with tiger prawns) minus the haute attitude. Inside, the restaurant fairly glows from the corner fireplace and copper-top bar, not to mention the smiles from diners' faces. The front patio is more often than not covered in exuberant chalk drawings.

Art Cafe
Many of the good smells at this cute place come from the in-house bakery that produces treats such as spice white pepperjack bread and famous muffins. Omelettes, salads, sandwiches, steaks and such at night complete the menu. Art by patrons adorns the walls.

A local institution, the short menu at this coffeehouse changes daily. The food is always spot-on fresh and at times whimsical (eg 'waffle night'). There's a good garden out back, wi-fi too.
