The Santa Barbara Public Market is a LEED-certified food hall that elegantly sidesteps the “where should we eat?” debate. You can even reserve the large tables for extra-large groups.
The market satisfies both the plant-based and committed carnivores without making either feel like they’re settling. Fala Bar serves up vegan falafel that actually tastes like something you’d find in Tel Aviv – tender inside, crispy outside, and paired with produce that tastes like it was picked that morning. Little Heart Cafecito offers Mexican breakfast classics made with farmers’ market eggs and handmade tortillas – both corn and flour. There’s a Rori’s Ice Cream, which is handmade with pure ingredients by Rori herself, with innovative flavors and clean ingredients. You’ll also find a variety of wines from the region.
