A Taste of Monterey - Wine Market & Bistro is a charming spot with a lovely atmosphere, offering kind staff, great appetizers, and wine flights. This delightful restaurant, which can be a little tricky to find as it is inside a small mall-like space, boasts scenic ocean views that are arguably the best along Cannery Row. Visitors can relax in comfortable chairs while enjoying local wine tastings and knowledgeable staff who are happy to assist. The food is stellar, featuring highlights like the crab dip, bacon scallops, and clam chowder, which has impressive presentation. The seafood platter is substantial and delicious, making it a highly recommended spot. The menu also includes delightful paninis and a Coastal Carnivore pizza, perfect for enjoying with friends. While the hours are limited, it’s worth a visit, especially for wine lovers. Reservations are recommended, but walk-ins are possible. Guests can also ask for complimentary binoculars to spot sea otters, seals, and whales during their visit. Additionally, the restaurant offers live music on Thursdays and Fridays, adding to the enjoyable experience.
