  • 1. Valley Bar + Bottle

    $$$

    The team behind this wine shop, bar, and restaurant across from Sonoma Plaza revamped a 19th-century adobe (though inside you'd never know it's this old) and expanded its outdoor patio, where most dining takes place. Sustainably produced seafood and meats find their way into "California home cooking"—summer dishes that might include halibut with corn and cherry tomatoes and winter ones like pork adobo or a half chicken with broccoli.

    487 1st St. W, Sonoma, California, 95476, USA
    707-934–8403

    Known For

    • XO deviled eggs, shrimp rolls, and other small plates
    • Organically and biodynamically farmed wines by iconoclastic producers
    • Weekend brunch with traditional fare plus less common alternatives

  • 2. El Dorado Kitchen

    $$

    This restaurant owes its visual appeal to its clean lines and svelte decor, but the eye inevitably drifts westward to the open kitchen, where longtime executive chef Armando Navarro's team crafts dishes full of subtle surprises. The menu might include ceviche or roasted maitake mushrooms as starters and pan-roasted salmon, fettuccine carbonara, or paella awash with seafood among the entrées.

    405 1st St. W, Sonoma, California, 95476, USA

  • 3. El Molino Central

    $

    The goodness at Karen Waikiki's roadside restaurant, which has more tables outside than in, starts with high-quality ingredients and authentic techniques. The stars include tamales (chicken mole and Niman Ranch pork), tacos filled with beer-battered fish or crispy beef, ahi tostadas poke style, and enchiladas and burritos.

    11 Central Ave., Boyes Hot Springs, California, 95476, USA

  • 4. Lou's Luncheonette

    $$

    Down-home Southern cuisine with modern flourishes remains the mission of this retro-yet-au-courant roadside restaurant—originally the Fremont Diner—whose vineyard-view outdoor patio has a backyard-party vibe. Local families and tourists savor biscuits and gravy, hash-brown casserole, and the fried-chicken waffle for breakfast, with more fried chicken, multiple burgers and barbecue dishes, and a sloppy-good shrimp po'boy among the lunchtime attractions.

    2698 Fremont Dr., Sonoma, California, 95476, USA

  • 5. Sausage Emporium

    $$

    The owner of this combination restaurant and marketplace escorts her customers on a round-the-world journey via artisanal sausages—traditional links and savory pork, beef, duck, and chicken variations. In her bright storefront edging Sonoma Plaza's southern edge (there's also a patio out back), sausages also appear in sandwiches, tartines, and impressively moist biscuits with creamy sausage gravy.

    31 E. Napa St., Sonoma, California, 95476, USA

  • 6. Sunflower Caffé

    $

    Whimsical art and brightly painted walls set a jolly tone at this casual eatery whose assets include the verdant patio out back. Omelets, biscuits, and waffles are the hits at breakfast, with the grilled cheese sandwich and smoked-duck sandwich, the latter served on a sourdough hero roll with garlic aioli, two favorites for lunch.
