welcome to lilac montecito!

After nearly nine years to the day of opening our café in downtown Santa Barbara, Alam and I are thrilled to welcome you to our newest restaurant, Lilac Montecito. With this new concept, we wanted to offer an elevated dining experience featuring some of our favorite foods that nourish the body and soul in a full-service, fine-dining ambiance. Our menu is inspired by European and Californian cuisine as well as locally-sourced ingredients for a fresh, delicious take on some classic entrees.

As always, our mission is to offer delicious food that just so happens to be gluten free. We also offer a wine list that has been carefully curated by our in-house sommelier as well as some familiar desserts. We think of Lilac Montecito as Lilac Pâtisserie's sophisticated older sister and we are thrilled to bring a new member of our restaurant family to Montecito. We look forward to seeing you for dinner soon!
