Paso Robles

Restaurant

In Bloom

Best restaurant in Paso. Smart cooking, great local wine list, none of the Napa attitude. Book before you book your flights.

Restaurant

Les Petites Canailles

French bistro done right. Steak frites, good local wine list, zero pretension. Strong close to the trip.

Worth a stop if you need a beer break from wine. The taproom is well done.
