I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the food in Monterey. It doesn’t have the *range* of San Francisco but in some key areas it hits hard.
Great pizza (Pizza My Heart). Fantastic clam chowder (Vivolo’s). Excellent Mediterranean (Petra). Good homey Japanese (Ocean Sushi Deli). Good and simple fresh seafood (Sea Harvest). Vegan baklava (Paprika). Good bakeries (Ad Adstra and Alta).
I haven’t even branched out to Seaside and Carmel yet
Artichokes at every restaurant! Fried, grilled, on pizza, in naans.
For Mexican I’ll probably go to Salinas (Tacos Pacheco)
and for Indian, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese I’ll likely leave those for on my commute back to the city (San Jose has better restaurants in all of those cuisines than the city) but for a few key things there are some good spots here
@skinnylatte have you checked out Revival Ice Cream or Parker-Lusseau Pastries yet?
alejandro's on Alvarado is a surprising good Mexican food place with a number of regional cuisines represented
Cella Restaurant & Bar and Stokes Adobe Restaurant are a bit higher end
Loulou's Griddle In the Middle, The Breakfast Club, and The Butter House are all good breakfast spots. First Awakenings is decent
Taqueria Zarape is pretty legit although not as inexpensive as Salinas
Captain+Stoker for coffee
@douglasvb yep I’ve been to revival and Parker-Lusseau but not the rest. Thanks for the tips!
@douglasvb I have been to revival. As in right now. Yum
