Monterey/Carmel area is my hometown. The Fishwife is very popular with Locals. The calamari appetizer (slender breaded steaks) with homemade sauce is like nowhere else, my teenagers would eat it every day if they could. We get it to go 1 order per person and sit at Asilomar beach for an impromptu picnic. It’s so close to the beach it’s still piping hot after you park and walk. I like this restaurant because they don’t often drown their seafood in a huge portion of starchy carbs. You can actually make some really healthy choices. The Carmel Cheese shop has been there forever and is an absolute necessary stop for any gourmet “foodies” you can taste cheeses (for free) from all over the world that you cannot get from other cheese mongers and if you like buy some to bring back to your home or hotel. There is a French Bakery: Parker-Lusseau that makes outstanding croissants and if you have ever been to France and eaten the real thing you know that is very uncommon in most parts of U.S. Carmel Belle has really great food to buy to go eat on the beach or wherever. The salads are so fresh & bright flavors- high quality ingredients, from scratch dressing. They have tables if you want to dine in.

@@TravelwithNJSteveandSue we just tried a spot a few days ago that was outstanding- The Red House Cafe in Pacific Grove. Another great place for Calamari Steak Appetizer for only $15. The Snapper was very good as was the homemade soup. Lovely Apricot pie for dessert that wasn’t too sweet. Charming atmosphere- we love sitting on the porch & the back table has plexiglass protection from wind but the inside is cozy & intimate as well. Fantastic service.

Lived in Monterey for 3 years and still visit regularly. For breakfast/brunch, you have to visit LouLou's Griddle in the Middle on Wharf 2. It's small but there's outdoor seating as well. This is really where the locals eat and it's fabulous!

Born & raised in CA. If you try In & Out please know that while some people have an obsession with this place there are definitely way better burgers in every city. It’s better than McDonald’s but most bistro’s and (non-chain) grill restaurants are going to have way better burgers. Habit Burger is a CA based chain that is MUCH better than In & Out.

@@UncleRichard.How do you compare In & Out or Habit to a gourmet, restaurant burger. Like Alvarado St. Brewery or Sticks at Spanish Bay Golf Links. The latter restaurant is a bit pricey, but hey...you get a fantastic view and can enjoy the bagpiper at dusk. I am a bit surprised at the selection of restaurants in this video. 🤑

@@Blue_Dun I'll leave the Habit out of this because honestly its just an ok burger. If you are near an IN N OUT there is no reason to go anywhere else. When considering price, it cannot be beaten. I've been to Alvarado many times, and while good, the final bill hurts considering I just had a burger and a beer. I've never eaten at the golf courses but if you were to line up all the burgers around town, I still think IN N OUT beats em.

I’m a native Bay Area resident and we’ve spent a lot of time in the Pacific Grove/Monterey area. We’ve gone to a lot of restaurants in Pacific Grove, too. First awakenings is great. Never been to the Monarch Pub or International Cuisine - surprised me! We will be checking them out. I agree, In-N-Out is the BEST fast food burger - always fresh and they truly grill the onions(brown). One of our favorite spots is The Red House on the main street (downtown) in Pacific Grove - give it a try if you ever visit again.

Is there really any such thing as a a "hidden gem" especially in a tourist town?. I mean everything's right there on Google or Yelp. One thing I've noticed that tourists tend to rate restaurants around here higher than they deserve. I'm not sure why exactly. Maybe it's just because they're enjoying themselves on vacation and they're in a positive frame of mind being in one of the most beautiful areas in the country. Or they're just used to bad food. The truth is the Monterey area doesn't have a large number of really quality restaurants. Certainly not the ones you've mentioned here. I hesitate to mention the better restaurants in Seaside, Monterey and PG because then it just gets harder for us locals to get a table 😉. But by all means, go check out the restaurants in Carmel...please!🤣

Hello , I have been following your channel very well. Your channel video topic and quality is very good. You can take your channel even further if you want. But there are some important issues in your channel which will not grow your channel easily if not solved. and your channel SEO score is very very low. this is why your you tube growth is very low. If you can solve this problems your channel will grow very easily. And in this matter I can help you to the fullest.
