Tastes of Summer
Zesty, light flavors from the kitchens of SB
Santa Barbara summer meals are designed to be light and refreshing, and to invigorate your senses beyond the average dish. Nothing beats direct from the farm goodness, and in Santa Barbara we are fortunate to have local eateries that champion the abundance of just that...English peas, sweet peppers, heirloom tomatoes, garlic, micro greens and more. From salads topped with summer peaches and peppers to a spicy cioppino made with fresh local catch, we’ve gathered a wide range of flavors to explore. Looking for something light and, just right? The following are great local choices.
