Our Story

Dutch Garden was originally founded in 1945. Our historic German Tavern operates out of the oldest known restaurant location in Santa Barbara, CA.

We have painstakingly remodeled and modernized, yet preserved in every way possible, honoring the past and lovingly updating for the future.

Offering a modern take on traditional German cuisine featuring locally sourced produce and thoughtful sourcing on all levels. Occasionally exploring Scandanavian, Nordic, Eastern European ideas.

Our bar list features an incredible selection of German and Austrian Beer and Wine. The outdoor Beer Garden is perfect for large gatherings or simply enjoying a beer with a view of the mountains.

Thank you to all of our farmers, ranchers, and of course our loyal customers.
