El Paseo Restaurant

Welcome to El Paseo Restaurant, which embodies a proud and historic Santa Barbara tradition of service, style, and hospitality. The restaurant was first built in 1922 as part of an 1826 Adobe complex. Architect James Osborne Craig designed and restored many of the existing buildings and added the Spanish village and "Street in Spain" surrounding the restaurant. The El Paseo complex was an inspiration for the revival of Spanish Colonial architecture in Southern California and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

El Paseo has been the site of many fiesta celebrations and host to numerous luminaries. Many celebrities returned to El Paseo Restaurant time after time because of its tradition of hospitality.
