Santa Barbara Public Market

On the Grid : Santa Barbara Public Market

"A gourmet food court and market with something for everyone, with a focus on local farms and artisanal ingredients. Grab a bowl of soup from Empty Bowl Gourmet Noodle Bar, fresh fish from the Fish Market, sample some olive oil at il Fustino Oils and Vinegars, pick up a bottle of wine from the Wine + Beer cellar, fuel up on coffee from Green Star, and finish off with a sweet treat from Rori’s Artisanal Creamery (some say it’s better than McConnell’s?!) or Enjoy Cupcakes." - Amanda Proudfit

"This bustling market on West Victoria Street offers the ability to crawl several of Santa Barbara’s best food purveyors, including the Michelin-recognized Corazón from chef Ramon Velazquez, known for its tacos, quesadillas, and homemade salsas and tortillas. Other stands in the market include Big T’s Deli (go for the pastrami), ice cream specialist Rori’s Creamery, Little Bird (for fried chicken sandwiches and burgers), Three Monkeys (find tangy, regional Thai favorites) and Cooney’s at the Market (for flights of beer to wash it all down). The list doesn’t end there, so leave time to make the rounds and try a little of everything." - Mona Holmes

"This goldmine of a gourmet market, is comprised of individual artisanal vendors specializing in local and sustainably-sourced fare. This means that it's essentially set up like the perfect pantry: There’s organic produce at Foragers Pantry, the freshest loaves at Crazy Good Bread, and humanely-raised meats at Belcampo. As far as prepared foods go, Flagstone Pantry serves up lunchtime basics like soups, salads, and sandwiches while Empty Bowl is all about steamy noodle bowls and handmade dumplings."
