Rocky Point Restaurant: Crab Sandwiches on a cliff
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Restaurant Name: Rocky Point Restaurant

    Just south of Carmel, along the route to Big Sur, a sharp turn off the road will bring you to Rocky Point Restaurant. You can dine inside, along ceiling to floor windows, protected from the elements. Or you can do what we did, and eat outside with the salt breezes on your skin, the sea smells in your nose, and the sea otters dancing in the water below you.

    Favorite Dish: We had the Bixby Sandwiches, named after the famous Bixby Bridge; crab and avocado on sliced sour dough. Very Northern California! The accompanying cole slaw was made with a light balsamic vinegrette and raisins and was excellent.

    Directions: Heading South along Highway 1 watch for the restaurant's sign on the right side of the road. It's a sharp, sudden turn.

     Immortalized in photographs by Edward Weston and Ansel Adams. I wished I had driven through this area in 1980.
