This distinguished bistro is located in the vibrant heart of downtown Santa Barbara within a well-known retail and dining plaza. Established in 2007, the restaurant offers a refined and intimate setting that appeals to both locals and visitors seeking high-quality dining in a prime urban location.

The restaurant features a thoughtfully curated menu built around high-quality ingredients, careful preparation, and a warm bistro-style ambiance. In addition to its core offerings, the concept incorporates a complementary secondary menu format that broadens appeal and supports strong weekend traffic, allowing the business to serve a diverse customer base and maintain year-round relevance.

The location benefits from excellent foot traffic and strong visibility, supported by downtown Santa Barbara’s charm and consistent tourist draw. The current lease is favorable relative to area comparables, with approximately four years remaining and two additional five-year renewal options, offering both stability and flexibility for a new operator. The business holds a Type 41 California ABC license (beer and wine), which represents a meaningful operational and revenue asset.

With an experienced kitchen and dining operation in place, low fixed occupancy costs, a prime downtown address, and a differentiated culinary concept, this offering represents a compelling opportunity for an owner-operator or investor seeking a turnkey restaurant in a high-visibility district.
