Nepenthe restaurant in Big Sur is perched on the edge of the continent...

High above the Pacific and watched over by the majestic Santa Lucia Mountains sits a little slice of paradise. 

This mecca of poets, artists, travelers and vagabonds has served guests for many decades, opening for business on April 24, 1949.

Sitting on the terrace, enjoying a glass of wine, an Ambrosia Burger, or one of our exceptional homemade desserts is a quintessential California experience. The first time visitor to the Central Coast will not want to miss it. Once you have visited, you are destined to return.
