Growing up in Monterey, we use to "cruise Alvarado street' in our souped up cars, as teenagers. Today, Monterey proper is a thriving business and tourism hub, where locals and visitors co-mingle with the smell of the sea and the warmth of the old spanish heritage. For those who work in the area, the most often recommended place for lunch... More

Rosine's is an excellent restaurant and very popular with the locals. We make a point of having at least one breakfast there every time we are in town. Portion size is large, so we often split our meal and add a bowl of seasonal fruit for an ample meal for two. The place can get very busy on weekend mornings,... More

Had pre marathon meal, not too impressed with the entrees although their soups are good. Place was cozy but really busy and packed. The wait time on a busy night is I thought acceptable for 20 minutes. I would go here for desserts more than meals.

This is a cute restaurant, and the food is excellent. There is a lot of it, so plan to box it, share or just beware. The french toast is amazing

This is like going to someon'e mythical mom's grandma's or aut's place and having her whip up whatever suits your fancy and cooked perfectly. The best turkey sandwiches, homemade soups, fresh green salad, and outrageous desserts. I get fat just thinking of it, and of course a glass of wine with lunch is just the thing when you're running around... More

Get there early because it gets buzzing in the later morning. Great breakfast choices and huge portions. It's in downtown Monterey in a very scenic old block, I'd say about two blocks east of the Marriott.

This was a great find and we ate here twice in two days. The food is delicious and the staff is tremendously attentive. In addition to terrific comfort foods, they have lots of healthy choices. And, if you allow yourself to be tempted, they have an incredible bakery counter filled with a variety of cakes, pies and cookies. We'll be... More

I was looking forward to going back to Rosine's ever since I'd visited last year, and it didn't disappoint. How many things can you say that about after anticipating them for so long? I had the ham steak and eggs, the steak was almost as big as the plate, moist and tasty, and they butter the toast from edge to... More
