The best restaurants North Coast

Shane, a fishing enthusiast for more than 40 years, and his wife Dana (former vegetarian converted into «pescétarienne») created in 2012, this small restaurant that won't always! The recipe for success? Local fishing, lasting and fresh every morning. Taste the chowder, best elected clam in the region!

This cozy cafe on Arcata Square offers salads, sandwiches and desserts for a pleasant light lunch. Many students are there to take a coffee or eat a piece. Very good atmosphere. Also a bakery side with very honorable croissants and pastries, all made home.

The place is simple but heavenly for seafood lovers. You can enjoy fresh shellfish by the water. It's a shanty that serves mainly oysters fished in Tomales Bay, but also clams and mussels. You can buy lemons, knives and gloves (very important, since it's up to you). Tip: do your shopping beforehand for an even more festive picnic!

It is one of the few restaurants in the area, located at the entrance ofPoint Reyes Station.Popular with visitors and locals alike, this establishment specializes in pizzas: from the dough to the sauce, the emphasis is on homemade. Moreover, all the meats are guaranteed 100% natural and nitrate-free, while the ingredients come from local producers. Between the excellent value, the personalized service and the good atmosphere - with lounge music in the background - Cafe Reyes is a particularly nice address.

This small beach restaurant, very close to the car park giving access to Stinson beach, does not look like much on the outside but is very elegant on the inside. The restaurant has an outdoor terrace and the available and quality staff will serve you warmly. Although the dishes are quite expensive, the prices are justified by their fresh produce related to the day's fishing. Their pizzas over a wood fire are excellent. Very good address before going to relax on the beach.

Opened in 1968, Café Beaujolais claims French roots... But that doesn't stop its few pasta dishes from transporting the customer to Italy. This is due to the expertise of the chef, Julian, who has worked in several Italian kitchens during his travels in Europe. In addition to its refined menu and tasty dishes, the restaurant is located in a very pleasant setting: a Victorian country house built in 1893 and surrounded by lush gardens. The icing on the cake: a fine selection of wines.

Since 1851 the hotel welcomes the faithful of Bolinas. Local ambience guaranteed. Live music every week.

This cafe on Main Street is simply over time. Local ambiance and a full breakfast. Hunting trophés and western land atmosphere. Very photogenic!

Established in 2004, this family-run business has won countless awards, particularly for its clam chowder - a traditional soup of the northeastern U.S. and Canada - renowned throughout the Sonoma Coast, and indeed throughout California. Spud Point Crab Company is also famous for its crab cakes, served only on weekends. The owners, Tony and Carol Anello, fish their products with their own boat on the same day. An excellent address for seafood lovers.

This beautiful red brick café serves salads and pastries in a relaxed atmosphere. The inhabitants of the area come mainly for the bread that has the reputation of being the best in the region. The Wi-Fi connection is free, so many people come in the afternoon.

A large modern wooden counter, red brick walls and a very friendly atmosphere, like a vacation: welcome to Humboldt Bay Provisions. Oysters from the bay of the same name are delivered daily to the establishment, before being served raw or cooked, as desired, with their mignonette sauce. The restaurant also offers some cheeses and spreads and, above all, an impressive wine list. An excellent address, where you will certainly have a good time.

Some will tell you that we eat the best bagels out of New York. Go check! Another address of the sign in Eureka. Organic ingredients.

Serving delicious bagels since 1984. There are several options: choose from the à la carte menu or make your own sandwich. Butter, jam, cream cheese, guacamole, salmon, goat's cheese, hummus, tofu, pesto, jalapeño, smoked turkey, bacon, carrots, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, capers... The list of ingredients is long. If you're really hungry, we recommend one of the scrambagels, a bagel prepared with scrambled eggs. All to be enjoyed in a pretty red-brick setting with a relaxed atmosphere.

You can stay in this splendid Victorian house or just dine. The decor really is worth a look. The youth and energy of the owners made this place one of the most remote of the city. The cocktails are to be tested absolutely. Maybe a snob......
