Guide: Restaurant Month on the Central Coast
There’s no better time to explore the Central Coast’s culinary scene than during January’s annual Restaurant Week dining programs in San Luis Obispo and the Santa Ynez Valley.
Santa Ynez Valley Restaurant Week
In SYV, the Restaurant Week program runs January 21st through February 3rd. Participating restaurants - like Norman at Skyview Los Alamos - will feature three-course prix fixe menus at budget-conscious price points. At $40 per person, Chef Dustin Badenell’s seasonally-inspired menu includes dishes like: Winter Squash Soup, Achiote Chicken, Polenta Cakes, Croissant Bread Pudding, and more.

Make a trip out of it with Skyview’s Stay & Dine Special: Receive a $50 Norman dining credit when you book a midweek stay now through March 31, 2024.
San Luis Obispo Restaurant Week
This year, SLO’s Restaurant Week (January 12th through the 21st) is themed “Perfect Pairings” in which participating restaurants will feature complementary combos and delicious duos. The Bistro at Granada Hotel will have two Entrée + Drink specials available: for Brunch (served Saturdays & Sundays, 10am - 3pm), opt for Skuna Bay Salmon Cakes paired with a Scribe Vermouth Spritz. At dinner (available nightly 5-10pm), an Herbed Porchetta is paired with a glass of Barbera from Giornata in Paso Robles. Reservations are available on OpenTable.
Make a trip out of it with Granada’s Bed & Brunch Package - where Friday & Saturday night stays now through April 30th receive $25 brunch credit per day booked.
