Meghan Markle's passion for food has led her to explore California's vibrant culinary scene. Since relocating to the state in 2020, the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry have made several public appearances at sought-after restaurants.
In 2025, Meghan celebrated her 44th birthday at Funke in Beverly Hills, an Italian restaurant she praised as one of her "top five meals" ever. The couple returned to Funke in early 2026 to mark Valentine's Day weekend.
Another favorite is The Dutchess, a Burmese-Californian spot in Ojai, visited in 2022. Onlookers noted the couple's low-key visit and enjoyment of the house-made naan. The restaurant is described as a community-focused establishment.
The Sussexes have also been seen at Lucky's Montecito multiple times. They enjoyed an extended dinner there in 2020 with friends shortly after moving to Santa Barbara, and were spotted there again in early 2026 for a double date.
Italian cuisine is also on their palate, with a visit to Tre Lune in Montecito in 2023, accompanied by a friend. This restaurant is known for its flavorful Italian dishes.
