Five decades of
Monterey tradition
Giant Artichoke Bar & Grill has been a fixture on Cannery Row since 1969 — longer than most families have called Monterey home. What began as a modest seafood counter has grown into one of the bay's most recognizable dining rooms, yet the philosophy never changed: let the ingredients speak.
Our kitchen draws from the Pacific's daily catch and the fertile valleys behind us. Artichokes — the cardoon relatives that thrive in Monterey's coastal fog — are a local obsession, and we take them seriously. But you'll find equally devoted attention to Dungeness crab, line-caught halibut, and heirloom tomatoes from the Salinas Valley.
Whether you're a lifelong resident or passing through on the 17-Mile Drive, we believe Monterey deserves a table where every meal feels intentional, every view counts, and the wine list earns its place beside the food.
