Pismo Beach Restaurants & Dining

The Central Coast is a Foodie's Paradise

With a have-it-all location on California's abundant Central Coast, Pismo Beach is where one of the world's most productive agricultural regions meets the rich bounty of the Pacific Ocean. Here, seasoned chefs and innovative tastemakers blend the best of both these worlds for a Surf & Turf dining experience unique to the San Luis Obispo county restaurant scene. Shore Cliff Hotel is lucky to be located near a few of the most famous Pismo Beach restaurants—like our next-door neighbor, Ventana Grill, which was recently voted one of the "100 Most Scenic Restaurants in the United States" by OpenTable reviewers. With so much to taste and see during your time in Pismo Beach, you'll feel perfectly Californian in no time.
