Located in the heart of downtown Monterey next to the historic Casa Munras, a Larkspur Collection Hotel, Estéban promises a unique culinary experience where guests can "sip, savor and share" Mediterranean tapas and Spanish-inspired cuisine.

Whether dining on the outdoor patio, by the warm fireplace in the lounge or sitting at the bar with a fantastic view of the exhibition kitchen, Estéban's unique Mediterranean cuisine can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner or late night dining.
Estéban aims to take diners on a culinary adventure through the Mediterranean, featuring local, seasonal ingredients and a satisfying array of fresh seafood, grilled meats and vegetables.
