Deetjen's Restaurant

"One of the best restaurants I ever tried. The place itself is kind of vintage but cute! Food was outstanding, the lamb and the fish, the lava cake and peacock pie were all very tasty. Service was very good too!"

"This is the breakfast place if you need a real meal. The have actual proteins with decent serving sizes. Standard breakfast items, no gimmicks. Gluten free bagels. Good coffee. Good tea. Service was awesome. Prices were comparably good. The eccentric atmosphere is cute."

"This is my favorite restaurant. It's like an eclectic warm hug with delicious food. I recently went for breakfast and was worried about the drive/traffic, but I needed an Eggs Benedict fix. I shouldn't have worried we experienced no traffic, it was a beautiful drive and so worth it!"

"This visit was the most enjoyable dining experience that I've had on this trip. Five of us arrived at 10 this Monday morning for breakfast. There was no wait and several empty tables. The service was excellent from Fernanda and others. The atmosphere was very rustic and created an excellent atmosphere for our meal. We each ordered a different breakfast entree and everyone was satisfied with their choice. I had Huevos Ranchos which was perfectly prepared and delicious. The change was about $20 per person before tip. Highly recommended."

"I have managed to miss this gorgeous place on previous trips to Big Sur, but was encouraged by a friendly fellow traveller to try their breakfast. What an experience! Now registered as an historic site, the whole place is so eclectic, quirky and unique in the most beautiful way. Every frame looks like a Dutch still life painting. There was a gentle fire burning in the fireplace, the service was also warm and attentive and the food was excellent. I indulged in French toast and it was delicious while the rest of my group had eggs Benedict, also perfect. The accommodation looks extremely enticing too so I look forward to my next visit."
