Restaurants near Santa Barbara Botanical Garden

One of the best restaurants in Santa Barbara. We have been a few times for special occasions and it has always been fabulous. Great food and service and cosy atmosphere.

Everything was amazing other than our table which was small and cramped between two other parties. Otherwise it was great!

Tucked away in Montecito, this cozy spot is a true find. The food is incredible—every dish is fresh and full of flavor. We kicked things off with the Prosciutto & Delice Board that were perfectly paired with grapes, strawberry preserves and a warm baguette, and the broiled king salmon was flawless. The service was amazing, too— Diana was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home without being overbearing. To top it all off, the ice cream and sorbet were refreshing and light finishes. If you're in the area, this place is a must-visit for great food and a relaxed vibe!

Great experience, wonderful food! Friendly and attentive staff. Love this restaurant.

I’m not usually one to write reviews, but Bouchon definitely earned its stars last night! My fiancé and I came for Valentine’s Day dinner and were expecting the typical “lower quality service and rushed atmosphere” but were extremely impressed with all bouchon had to offer! From start to finish, the service was impeccable. I cannot stress enough- if it weren’t for the adorable heart-shaped balloons and rose-petal covered tables, we wouldn’t have even been able to tell it was Valentine’s Day (in the best way possible). On top of the incredible, friendly, and warm service, the food was also top-notch. Starting with the fresh sourdough bread, rounding out with the delectable French-onion soup, to the perfectly cooked surf and turf, this truly was one of the better meals we’ve had. My fiance even said the Warm Lemon-Berry cake was probably in his top 5 desserts ever! So thank you, bouchon, for your incredible staff, delicious food, and giving my fiance and I a new favorite restaurant in Santa Barbara!
