Where to eat in Big Sur: 7 spots along Highway 1 worth pulling over for 🌲🍔🌅

We stayed at @riversidebigsur and spent our days driving up and down this stretch of Highway 1, stopping at just about every spot. The whole trip had a slow, cozy, no-rush feel: ocean views, mountain air, and a delicious meal always somewhere close. Swipe through for everything we ate 👉

Save this for your next Big Sur road trip 📌 and tell me your favorite Big Sur stop in the comments!

I’ve been staying updated on the Timber Fire on the Watch Duty app, and I’m so glad to report Highway 1 has fully reopened through Big Sur and beyond! 🎉 The fire is still only partially contained, so please stay alert if you’re traveling in the area. Sending continued strength to everyone in Big Sur who’s been affected. 🙏

🍗 @fernwoodbigsur: This fried chicken sandwich just made my top fried chicken sandwiches list. Fries and a cold beer on the side.

🥪 @bigsurroadhouse: A tuna melt and a pulled pork sandwich, plus the patio is super dreamy (see photo 1).

🌅@nepenthe.bigsur: We ordered the roasted garlic and goat cheese and the banana cream pie. We had dinner plans later but wanted to stop by anyway, so we did apps and dessert. My tip: get here with plenty of time before sunset, put your name in, and wander the property until a table opens up. We ended up with a perfect spot overlooking the ocean and the sunset.

🍀 @bigsurtaphouse: We visited around St. Patrick’s Day, so the menu was themed. The corned beef sandwich and tetris tots were delish.

🥞 @ripplewoodresortbigsur: Pancakes to fuel a hike at Ripplewood Café. I love the quaint diner vibe.

🌯 @bigsurriverinn: The biggest post-hike burritos! Find them at the back of the market on the property.

🕯️ @deetjensbigsur: Perfect for a special occasion. We came here for my birthday dinner, and I’ll share more in an upcoming post!
