Lunch

THERE ARE A LOT OF OPTIONS FOR LUNCH, DEPENDING ON YOUR MOOD.

 

Picnic at a winery? Casual? Fancy? Outside? Inside? Light?

These here are my personal favorites.

In Town

​

​

The Madrona

My happy place. An absolute must. (For everything: cocktails, snacks, breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner...I swear.)

A swanky spot with beautiful, amazing-tasting food and a lot of style. Bridgerton meets Alice & Wonderland. 

1001 Westside Rd, Healdsburg, CA

Bravas bar de Tapas

Okay...Here's the deal with Bravas. I love their food and cocktails. Their decor is super legit. Nice out? Enjoy their backyard dining or backyard bar. (Epic game on TV you can't miss? They have TVs at their outdoor bar.) Cold and rainy?

Sit inside by their (awesome) fireplace. But the music. Oh my god.

They play doo-wop. (?!?!) And try to call it classic rock.(?!?!) I don't want to hear the Beach Boys. Ever, really.

But especially whilst enjoying a lovely dining or cocktail experience with friends.

So...if you must go, try to distract your ears... Or maybe now it's all you'll hear since I pointed it out.

Or bring your mom. She'll LOVE it.

Guiso Latin Fusion*

This small, family owned restaurant features seasonal & locally sourced ingredients in

Latin American/Caribbean dishes with a hyper-local wine-list.

It's absolutely PHENOMENAL.

Indoor/outdoor dining. It's small, so come early. It's not to be missed.

​

Acorn Café*

Quaint café with the usual suspects. Local ingredients.

Cute outdoor dining area with a fireplace.

They make you order/pay at a walk-up counter and then they serve & bus your tables. 

This bugs me. But...whatever.

Roof 106 @ The Matheson (Lunch only on FRI-SUN) 

Trendy roof deck dining spot on the plaza.

Great pizza, phenomenal clarified lime margarita, fun, creative menu.

​

Troubador*

Homemade bread. INSANE sandwiches. And they have liver-mousse plates & sardine toast.

I'm in heaven. Take it to go and enjoy it across the street w some wine @ The Harris Gallery.

Little Saint

Ok, clasp your pearls...this restaurant is VEGAN. But let me tell you...their lunch and cocktails (and wine list) is on point.

Get the dips + crudité + homemade lavash and their fake caesar. And whatever else looks good.

It's delish. Don't confuse this with the restaurant upstairs. There you will leave both starving and confused.

In Wine Country​​

​

Diavola 

We probably eat at Diavola 2x/week. Their lunch is as impressive as their dinner...and so are their cocktails.

Best pizza I've ever had. Like, ever.

Feeling like Asian instead of Italian? Head next-door to The Gun Club. OMG.

Geyserville, CA 95448

​

Willowood Market Café*

This place is a well-worth drive to the tiny town of Graton. It defines a "perfect weekend" for me if I get a chance to go. They have a polenta menu, an extensive, local craft beer offering and phenomenal wine list. And it's just down the road from a whole lot of my favorite wineries...so it's a great place to eat if you're heading to West County to taste.

9020 Graton Rd., Graton, CA

Fall? Town is bustling with harvest.

Spring? New vintages have just been released, the valleys are green and the flowers are in full bloom.

Summer? Enjoy bottles of rosé and play some bocce with friends.

Winter? The town is quieter and reservations are easier to acquire.
