The 17 Best Restaurants & Hotels Between Big Sur & Cambria - Big Sur - The Infatuation

"This is the only place to grab food on the long stretch between Big Sur Village and San Simeon, and considering most of the Patagonia-clad, hiking-pole-toting tourists don’t make it this far, it’s a good spot to escape the crowds. Take some time to wander around the hotel grounds, covered in Monterey cypress trees and landscaped flowers. The restaurant itself isn’t anything special, so we suggest just admiring the view before you move to the inn’s sandwich shop and espresso bar. Grab a cappuccino and a danish for breakfast, or a pastrami on rye for lunch, and rescue yourself from your sad stash of gas station chips and gummy worms." - team infatuation, allison green
