If the heart of the home is in its kitchen, then that same truism holds good for the dining room at El Bosque. A range of diverse and nourishing menus is offered, with enough variety to suit your group's needs. The meals are healthy, wholesome and a treat to the eye as well as the palate. The generous buffet from fresh ingredients will nurture your body and the warm hospitality of the staff will make you feel at home.

Vegetarian and vegan diets are catered for with advance notice. Salads and fresh fruits are always available in generous quantities. A healthy choice of beverages includes a selection of herbal teas, milk, rice and soy drinks.

Outdoor patio dining on a broad, paved terrace fringed by semi- tropical plants and enclosed by the surrounding oak groves, provides an area of serenity and relaxation.Outside dining is seasonal, of course, but in Santa Barbara's year-round summer climate, comfortable for most of the year.
