The Best Road-Trip Worthy Restaurants Along California’s Central Coast

"Ojai’s dining scene has expanded in recent years, thanks in part to this Rustic Canyon Group-owned restaurant that combines baked goods with chef Saw Naing’s all-day offerings. Drop by in the morning for baker Kelsey Brito’s outstanding pastries and dishes like a croque madame with smoked ham and poached eggs. Come dinnertime, don’t miss Naing’s Burmese-influenced dishes like the show-stopping seasonal fried fish, served with a tea leaf salad, chickpea curry, jasmine rice, lentils, chili paste, and house-made naan." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
