Le Cafe Stella - Santa Barbara

During our journey along the Pacific Coast Highway, we chose this restaurant for a unique dining experience. The chicken cordon bleu was incredible, with generous portions. My son ordered the duck burger with fries, and he thoroughly enjoyed his meal. I highly recommend this café!

This was my first experience dining at a French restaurant, and I thoroughly enjoyed the blend of casual ambiance and refined dishes. The unique combination of spices and flavors in the sauces added a distinctive touch to each meal. The staff was attentive and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The seating arrangements allowed for pleasant spacing between dining groups. I absolutely loved the cherry pie à la mode—it's the best cherry pie I've ever had! While it may not be the cheapest option, it’s definitely worth a visit.

We had an amazing experience, thanks to AMBER's warm service and expertise with the menu. The recommendations were excellent, the service was friendly and inviting, and the drinks were outstanding! I highly recommend this place!

Le Cafe Stella is beyond lovely. The food is exquisite. I highly recommend the escargot, french onion soup, niçoise salad, and the veggie burger. Although, i’m sure anything you order will be impeccable. We ordered multiple things to share between the two of us, and the server knowingly divided everything into two portions without us even asking. It was such a kind gesture. The staff was so hospitable and welcoming. We were from out of town and they gave us lots of suggestions and genuinely wanted to know more about our travels. We also met the kindest couple who seem to be regulars at this restaurant. We talked for almost an hour. If you see them- tell them we say hi! The prices are so reasonable- they should be charging you more! We are currently debating driving HOURS just to go back to Le Cafe Stella. If you have the chance and are in the area you should capitalize upon the opportunity in front of you.

Le Cafe Stella is one of my favorites in Santa Barbara. The food is delicious my favorite onion soup and fries. Ulises our attendant was very friendly and helpful. I can't wait to go back.
