For those of you who may not know, the owners and employees of the businesses located at the intersection of Canon Perdido and Santa Barbara Streets commonly refer to our little neighborhood as “the corner”. The corner consists solely of small, local, owner-operated businesses which complement one another and foster a unique sense of community. These stellar businesses include C’est Cheese (an artisan cheese and gourmet food shop whose owners, Kathryn & Michael, practice yoga at the Ashtanga Yoga Shala here in SB), Our Daily Bread (a bakery which produces the best ciabatta in town and whose owner, Laurie, practices at Yoga Soup and the Ashtanga Yoga Shala), The Sojourner (a hot-spot whole foods restaurant whose presence has graced the corner for 30 years), and Drishti (you’re obviously familiar with Drishti if you’re reading our blog, so no description needed. 
)
Well, we’re happy to announce the addition of a new member to the corner family – the restaurant Julienne. Owned by Emma and Justin, an adorably sweet and relatively young couple, Julienne’s menu proudly declares that the restaurant is “constantly seeking to use local, seasonal and sustainable products to bring you fresh and creative meals.” We had the opportunity to dine at Julienne this past weekend and wow, were we impressed! The ambiance was fresh and sophisticated, the staff was extremely friendly, and our meals were hands-down delicious. As you can see from their menu, dinner at Julienne is not an entirely inexpensive evening, but their prices are actually very reasonable considering the high quality of their food. If you’re a Santa Barbara-dweller, we encourage you to try this sweet new spot when you have the chance. It’s likely that you will run into a Drishti employee (or owner) there because Julienne is officially our new favorite restaurant in SB. After your meal, you can stroll by Drishti and say hello!
Julienne is located at 138 E. Canon Perdido St. (on the literal ‘corner’ of the corner), and they are currently open for dinner (no lunch or breakfast yet) Wednesday through Sunday evenings. See you there!
