Nepenthe: Ocean-View Dining in Big Sur California

When it comes to dining I am definitely more about atmosphere than the actual food. If the restaurant is on a roof top or has a view of the water then I’ll most likely love it. If you are in to food AND the view, then I have a feeling Nepenthe will go on your list of favorites in the U.S. I don’t know that I’ve ever been to a place with equally spectacular views of the ocean and the mountains.

According to an article in a travel magazine, JFK was once turned away by Nepenthe for being barefoot so I made sure that I had my Reefs on before I went in. This restaurant is a famous stopping point on California Highway One. You can find it just south of Big Sur State Park and a little north of Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park
I was making an “effort” not to drink wine until I got to Napa but I failed. The bartender talked me in to trying Lucia, a local wine that you can only get at Nepenthe. I had the Pinot Noir which is made from grapes grown at the Lucia Vineyards just over the mountains in Big Sur. I had miles of Highway One left to drive but I felt stuck in this spot…….too amazing to leave.

Here are a few of the cool people who were also mesmerized by this spot...........
If you find yourself in this part of CA you'll definitely want to make a memory at Nepenthe.

    About Dana

    I travel often for business and occasionally for fun....I want to capture information about my favorite hotels, resorts, spas and restaurants  with you. I know I depend on several travel blogs for information on hotels, resorts and dining. It is nice to have first hand information from someone who has actually been there.
