1/Out of this world
While traipsing State Street—one of the main thoroughfares in Santa Barbara—stop to dine and unwind at Satellite, a natural wine bar and fully vegetarian restaurant where you can munch on light bites while soaking up wine insight from knowledgeable staff. Don’t miss dishes like the house focaccia served with confit garlic, and the Yoga Pants Salad, made with whatever’s local and freshest from the farmers’ market.
2/Devilishly good
If there’s one local chef who has risen to popularity and affectionately become synonymous with the vegan food scene. Moreno’s Mexican-inspired dishes are meticulously crafted down to the last detail, including milling the corn in-house for their freshly made tortillas. Make sure to try one of Moreno’s fan-favorite dishes, the spicy elote: corn topped with vegan mayo, crushed Takis, almond parmesan, and cilantro.
