GuestLife Monterey Bay's Great Restaurants

A Feast For The Senses

You don't have to buy a ticket to Europe to enjoy innovative cuisine and world-class wines served in elegant settings. Master chefs and restaurateurs from around the world have brought their well-tuned palates to the Monterey Peninsula — and with good reason. From the fruits of the sea to the bounty of the land, Monterey Bay has it all.

Seafood reigns supreme in Monterey Bay, which yields an abundance of fresh salmon, scallops, mussels, prawns, abalone and more. Not far from the rugged coastline, the fertile Salinas Valley, dubbed "salad bowl of the state," produces tender lettuces, vegetables and herbs to complement the ocean fare.

With such a diversity of raw ingredients readily available, visitors to the Monterey Peninsula can choose from any variety of culinary styles from just about any country — from California grill to Cajun, French, German, Italian, Mediterranean, Thai, Indian and more.
