Hello! As a local food and drink enthusiast, I'm happy to recommend some great places to eat in Petaluma, California. Before we dive in, I have a question for you - are you a local or a visitor? This will help me tailor my recommendations to better suit your needs.
Assuming you're a local, let's start with some hidden gems that only us locals know about. For a delicious breakfast spot, you must try "The Bistro 221" located on Main street. Their menu offers a variety of options, but the eggs benedict is a must-try! It's a charming spot that's cozy and intimate. Nest, another fantastic breakfast spot is "The Biscuit Club." Their chicken and waffles are out of this world! Don't forget to ask for their homemade Hot sauce.
Now, if you're looking for a healthier option, you should definitely check out "Farmhouse restaurant" located in the theatre district. Most of their menu items are sourced from their farm just outside of Petaluma. They make a fantastic brunch and have a great selection of cocktails. Great spot for a date!
As a local, we understand that sometimes we crave familiar foods. For a traditional pizzeria, "Pizzeria Tra Vigne" is the best spot. Their pizza crusts are cooked to perfection in a wood-fired oven, and they offer different toppings, including some unique selections like fig and prosciutto! While it's not the cheapest place in town, it's well worth the money.
However, if you're on a budget, no worries! We have some excellent hole-in-the-wall restaurants too! A great option for tacos is "El Roy's Tacos." They use locally sourced meats, and their adobada tacos are the bomb! Also, "Los Tacos" is another great spot that's easy on the wallet. Their menu options are plentiful, and portions are generous.
For the visitors, I'd happily give you a tour of our local eateries! There are plenty of unique restaurants worthy of perseverance. One such eatery is "Porky's tacos," located on Petaluma Boulevard. They have one of the best Vietnamese sandwiches I've ever had, and their tacos are served with a nice crispy basket.
We also have this excellent Italian bakery cafe, "Italian bakery cafe" - I know creative names, right? Well, their menu is traditional Italian cuisine, and the service is impeccable. Located near the water tower, this cafe is a great spot to grab lunch or breakfast. Another fantastic alternative is "The search sausage." They have a terrific selection of precooked sausages, and you can even sample different meats. Great for a group of tourists looking for something different.
Let's not forget the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. "Bear republic brewery" is a phenomenal spot. While they don't offer food, you can bring your food or order takeout, and they'll allow you to eat inside like at a restaurant. They have an outdoor patio with heating lamps for chillier nights and lots of tables indoors. Oh, and their beers are amazing! They offer a sceptic menu that shows their brewing process and flavours.
And, lastly, to make a reservation for a special someone, "Maysville" is an incredible fine dining establishment. Their menu is creative, and their tasting menu is the way to go. They have live jazz playing some evenings, and service is, as the Brits would say, spot on.
