Griddle in the middle. Bistro moulin or the whaling station if you really want to eat in Monterey.
I like biciclette. In Carmel.
The bench if you want a view. Nepenthe for a better view. Il velchio’s.
Check out Salinas foodies group on Facebook.
Zacatecanos, el Azteca, Eva’s cafe in Salinas for real Mexican food. Don’t buy any Mexican food on the peninsula.
You can check the Michelin guide. There’s a great new place in seaside maligne. Bada Korean, Rocky’s cafe for breakfast.
