Welcome to Paradise

O

n behalf of the staff, artists, photographers, designers, writers and others who have helped to make Passport Gateway Magazine the area’s most popular visitor guide since 1995, we invite you to join the millions of readers who have used our magazine to find the very best places to eat, shop and play in Paradise on the Pacific, where the unique east to west, southern facing coastal orientation creates the Mediterraneanlike abundance of sunshine, moderate temperatures and dazzling beauty that

­4

attracts more than six million annual visitors to this seaside sanctuary commonly called the American Riviera.

This is the place that was claimed by Spain in 1542, when the first European to set foot on the California coast was greeted by gift-bearing Chumash Indians who had thrived here for thousands of years and are today one of the region’s largest employers and philanthropists. This was the moviemaking capital of the world in the early 20th Century. This is where Charlie Chaplin built a hotel and Jimmy Cagney owned a wharf; where Laurence Olivier married Vivien Leigh and John & Jackie Kennedy honeymooned; where miles of palm lined beaches frame a moving canvass of white sailboats on crisp blue seas and magnificent sunsets silhouette the rich, red terra cotta rooflines that surround one of California’s most popular Spanish Missions; where you’re 92 miles north of Los Angeles,

332 miles south of San Francisco, and, hopefully, far enough from home to become accustomed to a more relaxed, carefree lifestyle as you explore the sun-drenched beaches, picturesque harbor, gourmet restaurants, shopping treasures, museums, galleries, awardwinning wineries and historical sites.

This is also the place where you’ll find charming sidewalk cafes and worldclass restaurants; and, where you’ll enjoy shopping adventures at first-class national and international stores as well as our eclectic mix of locally owned shops, boutiques and galleries.

This is the home of five Nobel Prize winners; media celebrities Oprah Winfrey, Laura Schlessinger and Dennis

Miller; entertainers Jeff Bridges, Carol Burnett, John Cleese, Kevin Costner, Bo Derek, Kirk Douglas, Julia LouisDreyfus, Dennis Franz, Tab Hunter, Kathy Ireland, Michael Keaton, Cheryl Ladd, Christopher Lloyd, Rob Lowe, Fess Parker, Eva Marie Saint and Jonathan Winters; singers and songwriters Jeff Barry, Jackson Browne, Christopher Cross, David Crosby, Barry DeVorzon, Bruce Johnston, Kenny Loggins, Jim Messina, Peter Noone and Glen Phillips; TV/film producers and directors Bruce Brown, Chris Carter, Tom Pollock, Ivan Reitman, Joel Schumacher, Dick Wolf and Robert Zemeckis; best-selling authors Jack Canfield, Barnaby Conrad and Sue Grafton; sports legends Jimmy Connors, Fred Couples, Tommy Curren and Andy Granatelli; business titans Gene Montesano, Charlie Munger, Paul Orfalea, Fred Siegal, Harold Simmons, Herb Simon and Ty Warner; and, all of the rest of us who live, work and play in one of the world’s favorite destinations. Welcome to paradise.

We’re glad you’re here.

EXQUISITE FRENCH PASTRY AT RENAUD’S

O

oh la la! is what you will be saying when you try one of the exquisite pastries or food items at Renaud’s Patisserie and Bistro. The husband and wife team of Renaud and Nicole Gonthier opened Renaud’s in January 2008 with a simple concept: serve excellent food and fine, fresh French pastries in an ambiant setting.

From the terra cotta walls to the burnt amber flooring, no detail has been overlooked.

Exective pastry chef, Renaud Gonthier, brought over 20 years of culinary experience and unique French flair to Southern California and created the fulfillment of a lifelong dream—baking refined pastries from only the finest and freshest ingredients. His early education in Europe’s finest culinary schools and pastry shops garnered him the position of top pastry chef for the Ritz Carlton, and his tenure at the internationally famous Barton G. Catering firm in Miami. Renaud’s mastery of creating the finest pastries and desserts brought him international attention when ­28 36

he was featured on The Travel Channel on a show featuring the top hotels of the Caribbean. Renaud has also appeared on The Food Network on both Emeril Live and Sugar Rush with Warren Brown.

Renaud and Nicole invite you to escape to Renaud’s Patisserie & Bistro. They offer an extensive menu inspired from the Provence region of France, and Renaud’s personal favorites. Visit them for breakfast or lunch or take home one of their elegant cakes or pastries.

They have 2 locations to serve you, in Loreto Plaza at 3315 State Street and their new location in Arlington Plaza 1324 State Street, Suite N. Stop by today and taste their freshly brewed 100% organic coffee and savor one of their delicious pastries.

Open Mon.-Sat. 7am-5pm, Sun. 7am-3pm at the Loreto Plaza location and 7am-3pm at the Arlington Plaza location.

SAMBO’S ON THE BEACH

Great Family Dining with a Fascinating History…

F

or more than half a century, Sambo’s has served generous portions of quality food and a terrific view of the Pacific Ocean, the harbor and the Channel Islands to millions of tourists and locals. This legendary family restaurant features a hearty breakfast any time of the day, every day of the week including their famous buttermilk, blueberry and other pancake creations complete with Sambo’s special Tiger Butter and rich, thick syrup, omelettes prepared with only farm fresh eggs, and, an impressive menu of tasty lunch specialties.

Sambo’s on the Beach is the original and only remaining restaurant of the once national chain of more than 1,100 Sambo’s restaurants in 47 states that was founded in Santa Barbara in 1957 by Sam Battistone Sr. and Newell Bohnett. The restaurant is currently owned and managed by the original founder’s grandson, Chad Stevens, who has continued the family tradition of great food at a great price, and, remembers his grandfather as “a bit of a hobo” who became one of the area’s most celebrated entrepreneurs.

When he was a teen, Sam Battistone Sr.’s family left the poverty of a small village in Italy to seek a better life in America. After settling in a coal mining town in Pennsylvania, a penniless Sam hopped a freight train to the West Coast, found a job in a Glendale restaurant as a salad boy, and later met a waitress, Ione, whom he married. They had three children and moved the family to Santa Barbara after WWII. From 1957 until around 1978,

­452 6

Sambo’s, the fusion of SAM Battistone’s and Neal BOhnett’s names, was a growing part of the American landscape that welcomed diners to great food at a great price in cities large and small throughout the heartland and along the coasts. By 1982, the explosive growth from a single coffee cafe to a multi-million dollar, publicly-traded corporation had taken its toll and all but the original Sambo’s in Santa Barbara had closed their doors.

Today, Chad Stevens and his wife Michelle have embellished Sambo’s “good ol’ days” with free gourmet muffins, the freshest ingredients whenever possible, and the best Bloody Mary’s and Mimosa’s in town. Like his grandfather, Chad applies his commitment to quality products and exceptional service to every aspect of the Sambo’s experience by offering “gourmet value in a breakfast version, without the gourmet prices.”

Visit Sambo’s for breakfast or lunch daily at 216 W. Cabrillo Blvd., across from the Harbor. (805) 965-3269.

THE ANDERSEN’S RESTAURANT & BAKERY Authentic Danish Fare & Service!

I

n Denmark a bakery and restaurant combo is called “Konditori.” Here in America, we call it The Andersen’s Restaurant & Bakery! The Andersen family founded their bakery in 1938 in Denmark and went on to open 15 more bakeries in Copenhagen before coming to America to share with us some of their Danish recipes that trace back as far as 700 years. So I guess you’d say – they know their Danish at Andersen’s!

The Andersen’s Restaurant & Bakery serves breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week. In today’s fast-paced, instant meal world, The Andersen’s steadfastly buy only the very best, top quality ingredients – especially the two tons of Marzipan they use every year!

Showering the bakery shelves you’ll find Marzipan pastries, Éclairs, Napoleons, Danish Layer Cake, Marzipan Layer Cake, Butter Cookies and Sarah Bernhardts of which the queen’s Bentley in Copenhagen was personally shopping for! The breakfast menu features The Andersen’s Quiche, Smoked Scottish Salmon, Homemade Sausage, Fruit Plates, Omelets and warm Danish’s, Strudels and Croissants.

The ‘Good Morning Breakfast’ consists of bacon, eggs, ham, cheese, potatoes and surprise with delicious breads and a steady serving of steaming gourmet blend coffee.

At $10.95, the ‘Good Morning Breakfast’ ­46 4 8

at The Andersen’s is unparalleled. Lunch and dinner at The Andersen’s features Europeanstyle New York Steak, Vol au Vent, The Andersen’s Quiche, Smoked Scottish Salmon, Dover Sole Hollandaise, Jaeger Schnitzel and always, a wonderful homemade soup served with homemade breads. Specials change daily and may include such time-honored favorites as hearty Hungarian Goulash, authentic Frikadeller and Hakkebof. Select a beverage from their wine and beer menu.

Dine inside where the bakery is decorated like a European castle. The walls are adorned with gilt framed original oils painted by Mr. Andersen, charming figurines, Royal Copenhagen plates, Danish tile work, gleaming copper pots, fresh flowers and shimmering chandeliers. For larger groups, The Andersen’s has a delightful banquet room upstairs. If you prefer people watching and the warm, sunny weather, dine on their sidewalk patio on State Street.

The Andersen’s ‘High Tea’ is served daily from 2 to 5pm featuring a festive tier of scone, slice of apple strudel, 2 small sandwiches, strawberries (when in season), a Petite Four and a small cream pastry.

The Endless Summer bar-café

A Top-Ten Seafood Spot By The Sea

R

ecently honored as one of the “Top 10 best spots around the West to enjoy seafood along with a seaside view”, in the June, 2007 issue of Sunset Magazine, The Endless Summer bar-café is named for the world-famous surfing film made in the early sixties that helped define the genre; and mirrored the surf culture which has become such a part of the California lifestyle. In the late 90’s, local restaurateurs Steve Hyslop and Larry Stone were introduced to the filmmaker, Bruce Brown, who gave them his blessing to open a restaurant and donated much of the memorabilia that is on display along with more contemporary boards, graciously donated by the shapers who made them, and, décor celebrating the current surfing scene. The large bar at the center of the restaurant features a million dollar view overlooking boats at the harbor, the city, and the Santa Barbara Riviera. Many of the Surf videos that scroll on the TV’s feature local breaks and surfers, and, of course The Endless Summer plays along with other sporting events.

The restaurant is framed on either side by two covered yet open air patios, called “Lanais”, which makes outdoor dining a year round option. The South Lanai features two outdoor “Pool Tables with a View” which are a draw for families who are looking for something for their kids to do, while mom and dad can put their feet up and sip a cold one. Both Lanais are available for private parties.

The food and drink are designed with the lifestyle in mind also; The Endless Summer bar-café is the kind of place one might drop in to share Mai-Tais and Popcorn Shrimp before or after heading out to the surf or to savor the sesame-crusted ahi on a warm spinach salad before a leisurely stroll along the breakwater. Many of the local fisherman finish their day here; most are happy to share their stories, and you’ll have a great story to share after dining at this surfing-inspired gem atop Chuck’s Waterfront Grill by the boats at 113 Harbor Way; (805) 564-4666.

SANDPIPER GOLF COURSE Extraordinary Golf Experiences & Ocean Views!

P

erched majestically on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean, just north of downtown Santa Barbara, you'll find a true championship course that just could be one of the best venues in all of California.

Sandpiper Golf Course, designed by William F. Bell in 1972, is an inspiring combination of challenge and beauty that was named by Golf Digest as one America’s top 75 upscale golf courses and is often referred to as the "Pebble Beach" of Southern California.

Measuring over 7,000 yards from the back tees with a championship rating of 74.5, this par 72 course with mature, wooded fairways, undulating terrain and challenging greens attracts player’s of all skill levels and has tested the abilities of PGA and LPGA players alike, playing host to several professional tournaments including The PGA Tour Tournament Players Series, The LPGA Tour Santa Barbara Women’s Open and the prestigious final stage

­60 6 0

of the PGA Tour Qualifying School.

While the front nine is slightly longer and more challenging than the back, the stretch of holes on the bluffs along the ocean are sparkling gems. The 11th hole, a 224-yard par 3 that drops steeply from tee to green offers splendid views of the scenic Santa Barbara coast. The ocean also comes into play on the par-5 13th, that includes a panoramic view of the five-star Bacara Resort and Spa, and, on the par-4 14th, both requiring accurate drives and approach shots to keep the ball in play.

“The ocean and mountain views are breathtaking and the golf course conditions are suberb”, says director of golf operations, Greg Villeneuve. “Our main goal at Sandpiper is to provide all of our guests with a level of service that compliments a world class golf experience”.

Conveniently located just minutes from downtown and the Santa Barbara Airport off Hwy 101 at the Winchester Canyon Road exit, Sandpiper combines a tradition of championship golf and spectacular surroundings with a full range of services that include an experienced and courteous staff, practice facility, Titleist and Callaway rental clubs, PGA instruction, a well-stocked golf shop, and, a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, cocktails and other beverages. For more information call (805) 968-1541.

S olvang S ojourn A Danish Delight in the Santa Ynez Valley

T

he Danish Capital of America, Solvang, is nestled in the picturesque Santa Ynez Valley, surrounded by gentle hills, mountains, vineyards, farms, world class wineries and nationally known horse ranches just 45 miles north of Santa Barbara via US Hwy 101.

To the small group of Danish refugees from midwestern winters who arrived in 1911, the 9,000 acres of former Spanish land grant near the Mission Santa Ines must have looked like heaven on earth with its warm sun, grassy knolls dotted with oak trees and sheltering mountains.

Today, the local population remains over 60% of Danish descent and welcomes more than 3 million visitors annually to a shoppers paradise of factory outlets and over 350 shops filled with Old World arts and crafts, jewelry, fine leather goods, porcelain figurines, hand made lace, music boxes, collectibles, books, sweaters, candies, imported foods, kitchen utensils and apparel.

Food lovers will appreciate Solvang’s famous bakeries and varied cuisines, yet it’s the Danish dishes and smorgasbords that give this charming community its unique culinary reputation. Fine art abounds ­62

in the galleries. Painting is typically representational and California plein-air painters,impressionists, noted seascape artists, water colorists, wildlife, and western artists are all well represented.

The Hans Christian Andersen Museum documents the life of the father of the modern fairy tale with books, sketches, silhouettes, collages and personal artifacts. The museum at Mission Santa Ines, the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Society Museum and the Parks-Janeway Carriage House offer history and memorabilia from Chumash Indian implements to clothing and furnishings from the European settlers for hours of enjoyment.

Solvang is surrounded by a playground of things to see and do.

Dozens of vineyards and wineries, such as the popular Fess Parker Winery~ are just a short and scenic drive away; as are several exotic animal farms and “par excellent” golf courses like the River Course at Alisal and the Rancho San Marcos Golf Course.

Rich in ethnic heritage, architecture and history, home to world class dining, shopping and accommodations, the Solvang sojourn is truly an unforgettable experience for the entire family.
