Best Restaurants in Downtown
22 restaurants analyzed · Santa Barbara
Downtown Santa Barbara is where you'll find the city's most polished dining scene, with State Street anchoring a strong run of American and Californian restaurants that make it the natural choice for a proper sit-down meal or a special occasion. The cooking here leans into fresh, California-influenced food done with care, and you'll find enough variety across American, Mexican, and Asian kitchens to keep things interesting even if you're here for a few days. Prices reflect the downtown premium, so expect to spend accordingly, but the quality tends to justify it.
