Big Sur is beautiful on its own, but when you combine it with a restaurant like Nepenthe, you create magic. Nepenthe is a large restaurant perched upon a broad cliffside of Big Sur protected by tall evergreens, creating a tranquil, windless, beautiful atmosphere. Small wood peckers flutter from tree to tree looking to get a french fry or cracker. People enjoying their meal as well as the view, sit elevated above the trees on a deck overlooking the wavy Pacific Ocean. A good time is guaranteed at Nepenthe.

Nepenthe is a greek word meaning anti-depressant drug. So good news depressed people, this restaurant is the cure!  But seriously, their hamburgers are in fact sublime. The fluffy bun is baked to perfection and practically melts in your mouth while the patty oozes it’s flavorful juice onto your tongue. Every bite reveals a new flavor, triggering sheer pleasure to arise. benin As your mind experiences emotions you had never discovered, you look out to the beautiful view of the open sea beyond the crackling fire, and realize the name, Nepenthe, fits this place as much as “awesome” fits Otto.

The Nepenthe Burger, worth the trip!
