Located on the ruins of the house that Orson Welles built for Rita Hayworth, the Nepenthe is as legendary as the couple. The restaurant is cosy but, curiously, the food is honest, without more. You can have a steak and French fries for about thirty dollars. In the evening it is a little more expensive, about fifty dollars for a piece of meat and vegetables. In fact, we especially want to advise you to pass there for the aperitif in order to take advantage of the breathtaking view on the Pacific Ocean from the big terrace.

The restaurant has a very nice view of the ocean in a cozy place. You can expect a few minutes waiting for a table if you come in a peak hour, so I recommend stopping by early to get a nice spot. The food was good and prices are high, compatible with the place.

We stopped here for lunch after numerous recommendations from blogs and reviews. Besides the nice view, this place is otherwise mega hyped up. The food and service were mediocre at best. We asked the food runner to take a quick picture of us and she gave us the biggest attitude. The ambrosia burger, which is their specialty, was good but nothing special and definitely not worth the $25 price tag. Neither was the $14 French fries basket. You are paying for the view, but the view does not justify for the high price tag. Definitely just a one time experience for us.

Must stop on a trip to Big Sur or somewhere like that. The view is outstanding and worth visiting.
