Nepenthe Restaurant
485100 Highway 1, Big Sur
(831) 667-2345
At Big Sur Station, people ask for directions to Nepenthe almost as much as Pfeiffer Beach, or that redwood that you can drive through (it’s not in Big Sur!), and those hot springs up in the hills. Its popularity is due to many things, including (but not limited to) its Ambrosia burger with special sauce; its South Coast margarita; and a view that even most billionaires would dream of having.
