Absolutely! The prices are very family-friendly, especially for the portion sizes. You won’t leave hungry!
What about places like Pebble Beach Market? They have snacks and deli items, which can be great for a quick family meal.
The Market is a fantastic spot! I love that you can grab picnic items there to eat by the coast.
Kind of going off-topic, but does anyone think there are enough kid-friendly options in town? It seems like a lot of places are more adult-focused.
That’s true, jennifer96. While some restaurants cater to families, it can be tough finding specific kid-friendly vibes without losing the charm of Pebble Beach.

Speaking of charm, I think that’s what makes The Bench and Sticks stand out—they manage to be beautiful yet inviting for kids.
I agree! A picturesque place is nice, but family comfort should be a priority in these settings.
And let’s not forget about a bit of humor! Just make sure the kids don’t decide to order the ‘adult-size’ pizzas—that’s one hefty meal!

Good point, qbenjamin! Those pizzas could definitely challenge a small stomach. What about desserts? Any recommendations for sweet treats after those meals?
Oh, for desserts, try the brownies at Sticks! They’re a family favorite. And don’t forget to get some ice cream from the Pebble Beach Market!
If you want a local gem, try The Fish Hopper. It’s a bit lesser-known but offers fantastic seafood with a stunning ocean view. Perfect for a relaxing meal!
I totally agree! The Fish Hopper’s clam chowder is one of the best I’ve ever had. You can really taste the freshness!
Another spot that’s beloved by locals is The Pebble Beach Market. It may not be a restaurant per se, but their sandwiches are top-notch and perfect for a picnic!
I’ve heard great things about the Market too! Is there a particular sandwich you recommend, heather83?
@foxjoshua, definitely try the turkey and avocado sandwich! It’s fresh and tasty. Perfect accompanied by their house-made lemonade.

For something more upscale but still off the tourist radar, I recommend Il Fornio. The pasta is homemade, and the ambiance is cozy and elegant.
I’ve been to Il Fornio and loved it! Their seasonal dishes are always a delight. Do you know if they have a good wine selection?

For a lighter option, I recommend The Beach Club Grill. It’s casual, yet their poke bowls are refreshing and great after a day on the beach!
The poke bowls are delicious, @lhoffman! I also love their fish tacos—perfect balance of flavor and crunch!
I was surprised at how many locals go to The Inn at Spanish Bay for brunch. Their outdoor seating is wonderful, and the break in the crowd at brunch is refreshing!
