The best restaurants Wine Country

This is where the heart of Calistoga beats. An authentic, lively, warm, gourmet address. You enter a large room with high ceilings, like a saloon; you meet friendly locals, you order your breakfast from waiters full of humor and kindness. Honey, sugar and milk in all their forms are available on the counter. The bagels and smoothies are perfect in all their variations and so are the variations around coffee since it is the house specialty. A guaranteed treat!

The girl & the fig is a top-class French restaurant. It also boasts a magnificent old-fashioned bar with French aperitifs and unique yet traditional cocktails. The restaurant's à la carte menu features delicious dishes that will take your breath away, such as fig and arugula salad, duck confit, steak tartares... The cheese platters are a credit to the region. As for the wine list, it features only typical Rhône varietals. What's more, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. An excellent address.

Conveniently located in the heart of Sonoma, this lovely restaurant is the perfect culinary destination for a romantic dinner or a get-together with friends. You'll have a few delicious dishes to choose from: fresh, simple yet sophisticated cuisine, and an extensive wine list. The multi-level reception room contains a dozen tables. The atmosphere is intimate, with its open kitchen, herringbone roof, and large works of art hanging on the wall. The energy is vibrant and contagious. Remember to reserve your table!

The green-and-white-tiled house has been in business for over 120 years, and is one of Calistoga's best-known names... At the counter or at the table to enjoy a divine, caloric breakfast with (for example) deliciously moist pancakes, or an American-style lunch or brunch. An excellent, popular address serving hearty dishes. What's more, the house also offers vegetarian and gluten-free options. The atmosphere is rural and cheerfully lively. Locals love it too, which is always a good sign.

Mexican cooking was missing? No worries, California is never far away. Villa Corona is a fabulous burrito that costs about US $ 9. Otherwise taco and enchiladas are also on the menu. Available to take.

This lovely bakery on Main Street offers salads and sandwiches to eat on or off. The breads are good but we still have been rather surprised by the prices, relatively high.

French cuisine in this small, appreciated restaurant. Good atmosphere on weekends.

What an atmosphere! On the terrace overlooking a small garden where a fountain flows, you can enjoy a plate of oysters or one of the big salads of the house. We recommend the Beet and pear salad, a real delight with pears, pecans and cheese. The desserts are all very tempting like the Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake, etc. The list of alcoholic drinks is impressive, it's the right place to try cocktails!

It's the little brother of Sonoma's Girl and Fig, at least in size. Because in reality the Fig Café is the first of the family. Intimate atmosphere and refined decor for this restaurant that serves excellent quality French-inspired cuisine: asparagus au gratin, beef bourguignon, mussels and French fries with pastis... You won't feel out of place! Large list of wines from the region and Europe. You'll find some of your favorite dishes from the Sonoma restaurant. A Glen Ellen classic, and very popular with the locals.

A varied menu based on local products for fresh food, as the chef likes to say. Things that don't disappoint, no surprise either. The tables on the balcony are particularly pleasant when the sun is reflected on the river below.

Ah, what a pleasure it is to rediscover the joys of Turkish-style kebab! It is not a question here of a cheap fast-food sandwich but of an elegant plate with a subtle and refined taste. A real good surprise. The menu also offers many Mediterranean dishes. For example, we recommend the salad with grilled octopus, arugula, chickpeas, beets, oranges, apples, cherry tomatoes and apple-basil vinaigrette, with a pomegranate balsamic glaze...
