Favorite Santa Rosa, Sonoma County Restaurants

Coming after the last post on favorite wineries is favorite restaurants. I've stuck to the town of Santa Rosa in Sonoma County as that's where I'm based and know best. It's not a complete list as there are many other excellent restaurants and I could probably add another 20 restaurants to the list.

Breakfast

Hank's Creekside - Not much to look at so you're not paying for ambience, but rather for the big plate of food.

Jeffery's Hillside - Solid breakfast choices.

Omelette Express - Show up hungry or share an omelette.

Lunch

Mac's Deli - It's been downtown forever and for good reason.

Russian River Brewery - Get the salad and slice of pizza weekday lunch special. And maybe a beer while you're there.

Dinner

Bird & The Bottle - Interesting menu.

John Ash - A high quality, but still affordable, staple in Santa Rosa.

La Gare - Family-owned and run for nearly 40 years. Menu hasn't changed much in that time.

LoCoco's - Best bang-for-the-buck Italian in a town.

Pullman Kitchen - American food with anything from a cheeseburger to vegan options.

Rosso's - If you like thin crust pizza from a wood-fired oven this is the place.

SEA Thai  Bristro - Best Asian food around.

It's all about the hunk of meat at La Gare, but the roast potatoes
are purdy good, too.

Any Meal

East-West Cafe - American to Mediterranean, burgers to vegan.

Spinster Sisters - Unique, excellent. If you ever get bored going out to eat this place will get your taste buds fired up again.
