We begin with a warning: do not even think about setting foot in this specialty deli unless you are prepared to buy a handful of assorted delicacies you didn't even know you needed. That said, if you are the type of person that likes discovering exotic seasonings, buttery cheeses and unusual European ingredients, this is the lunch stop for you. First you must attempt to walk straight to the counter - no getting distracted - to place your order for a decadent sandwich or panini made with luxe ingredients like prosciutto and cranberry-fig confit. Their caprese sandwich is a veggie delight! And then, while your order is being crafted by the wonderful staff, you are free to browse.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Santa Barbara Local Expert
- Gourmet Stores: "In this one instance, we do advise you to go shopping on an empty stomach because they also make mouthwatering sandwiches."
- Best for Gourmet Stores Because: Metropulos sells gourmet Mediterranean foodstuffs, like tinned seafood, squid ink pasta and truffled everything. You've been warned.
