Blue Tavern

City/Region: Santa Barbara

Chef Ricardo Zarate of Chef Zarate Restaurant Group opened Blue
Tavern in November of 2013. The restaurant is situated just two blocks
from the ocean amid Santa Barbara’s most coveted real estate on State
Street. Showcasing a natural progression of Zarate’s proficiency for
blending cultures, Blue Tavern features quintessential Californian fare,
such as pizza, pasta, and grilled meats, envisioned through the culinary
lens of a native Peruvian.

This is the group’s fourth restaurant—following the success of Los
Angeles concepts Mo-chica, Picca, and Paich—taking its inspiration
from Zarate’s heritage and the relaxed ethos of its guests, resulting in a lo-
cation that is at once international and local, inspired and approachable.
