Guidebook for San Luis Obispo
Food Scene
I love Novo for outdoor dining under a massive California Live Oak tree in the garden patio that hangs over the creek. Novo features craft cocktails and an eclectic menu. The spring rolls sell out quickly so ask for them as soon as you arrive! Visit for Lunch, or Dinner but skip the 'mid day menu' between 2:30-5:00 daily as it's too limited. The have a killer brunch on Sundays from 10am-2pm. Make a reservation if you can.

Sidecar is another favorite for rich filling foods and very unique cocktails with some harder to find liquors and tinctures. Also great for brunch. They do not accept reservations.

The best sandwiches ANYWHERE. Expect to pay ~$9/sando but you can share one between two people as they are huge. Call in your sandwich ahead of time so it's ready when you get there since they are always busy. They also serve breakfast sandwiches , have a small outdoor seating and are kid and dog friendly. They are my go to when I'm heading out for an outdoor adventure and I need a big sandwich for the road or for the summit. Make sure to toast your bread if you are taking it to go and tell them no 'herb juice' as it gets too wet! For a really good deal visit the shop at 4:20 until close at 5pm for a half priced sandwich (you can't call this order in).
