Not your typical, fancy-schmancy, $20 glass of wine with your pinky finger extended, Carmel restaurant. Great outdoor seating w/firepits. Solid pub type grub, casual atmosphere. The Forge Burger is pretty solid.

The Almond Croissant will blow your mind. Seriously, it's a game changer. If you're not seriously impressed by it, Denny's is around the corner. Maybe that's more your style.

Classic breakfast. Huge portions. The Bluegerm Pancake is spectacular (just order 1, they're giant). Eggs Benedict are awesome as well. 1 block up from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Good place to start the day in Monterey.

Super hipster, vegetarian affair. They do all their own canning, fermentation, baking, etc. Get the daily special of the Soup and Sandwich combo. Not necessarily big portions, but you'll walk away feeling like you put some good fuel in your body.

No frills seafood. They have their own fishing boat, so you know you're getting it fresh! The Salmon and Halibut Cheeks are great pick. Location in Monterey as well.

Located within Highland Hyatt. It's pretty pricey, a little snooty, but the best view while eating breakfast you'll probably ever experience. Perched high atop the cliffs in the Carmel Higlands overlooking the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Eggs Benedict won't disappoint. Only go if you plan on sitting on the patio (bring a sweater, it can get a little chilly).
-Sidenote, the lounge area inside the Highlands Hyatt has an amazing sunset view. Great place to sip on a stupidly overpriced cocktail and pretend that you actually can afford to be staying there-

Drinks & Nightlife
It's a dive bar. In Carmel. That in itself is a novelty worth checking out. They frequently have live music. Bartender gets a little sassy if 'fru-fru' drinks are ordered. Can be a little tricky to find. Directly behind Lopez Liquor.

Funky Tiki atmosphere. Good happy hour selections.The only place in the Monterey Bay where you can get a gallon sized drink with a flaming volcano in the center. Please Uber should you experience one of these monstrosities.

Parks & Nature
One of our favorite places to take visitors to. Perched right on the cliffs where the Monterey Cyprus trees meet the crashing waves of the Pacific. Super easy to find, and you can have an easy and beautiful stroll in under 2 hours.

Make it a short leisurely hike, or a full-day hardcore excursion. This place will give you some altitude gain and cool views of the Salinas Valley.

Honestly, Cannery Row is worth about 1 hour of your time. Nothing more. Super touristy, cheesy souvenir shops, and full of restaurants serving heavily breaded, deep fried food. And nothing much beyond that. Sorry John Steinbeck....
