✨ Here’s a little Big Sur tip that not everyone knows about…
While most people stop at Nepenthe or Ragged Point Restaurant (both well worth a visit!), they can get incredibly busy.
If you plan ahead and book a table, you can enjoy lunch at Post Ranch Inn—one of the most exclusive hotels on the California coast—even if you’re not staying there.
Beautifully curated three-course lunch made with fresh, seasonal ingredients, all while soaking up some of the most spectacular ocean views in Big Sur.
It’s a bit like dining in a castle with a drawbridge. Anyone with a reservation can enjoy lunch, but most of what lies beyond is reserved for the guests who are staying there.
If you’re looking to make your Big Sur road trip feel a little more special, I’d absolutely recommend adding this to your itinerary. It’s one of those experiences that feels like a luxury without the luxury hotel price tag.
Save this for your next California road trip! 🌿🌊
