OUR STORY

Centrally located in downtown Santa Barbara, Barbareño enhances the essence of our local cuisine on the Central Coast of California.  Using the history and traditions of our area as a starting point, along with the abundance of locally produced products available from the region, Executive Chef Julian Martinez and Chef de Cuisine Preston Knox work to create a menu that vividly expresses our time and place.  Served in a casual yet refined space and complemented by some of the best wines and beers in California, we seek to redefine the significance of California Cuisine.
