Passionfish
✦

Known For

Sustainable seafood dining anchored by a garden-fresh, wine-forward ethos

Passionfish brings garden vibes and a bright and airy Pacific Grove dining room to a menu that takes sustainable seafood more seriously than most. It's instagrammable in the way that genuinely good restaurants are — not because they try, but because the food looks as considered as it tastes.

🕐Best time to visit: early autumn evenings when the harvest menu is in full swing

701 Lighthouse Ave, Pacific Grove, CA 93950, USA

Our Take

Passionfish has built a loyal following on its sustainably sourced seafood and a garden-adjacent, bright dining room that feels considered without being fussy. A charming local standby that earns its strong rating over time — worth a reservation, though the brunch category undersells its dinner-forward identity.
