Cafe Beaujolais in Mendocino

My partner and I liked this place so much we went there twice for lunch on a recent weekend trip.The pizza is absolutely delicious! They even had one vegan pizza option which was good! I also tried one of their seasonal fig and goat cheese pizzas.Its the perfect place to sit outside on a rare sunny day. Dog friendly also!

A group of 5 of us spent an evening at the cafe and loved it. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is very cozy. I ordered the halibut which was super buttery and flavorful. Definitely recommend if youre looking to treat yourself!

We sat in “the waiting room” which was a more casual part of the restaurant since we came with our little dog. We were still able to order food from the Cafe Beaujolais menu. The bar also has its own snacks menu. My husband and I shared the heirloom tomato and burrata salad and the Vietnamese prawn and papaya salad for starter. I had duck breast for main (medium) and my husband had fillet mignon (medium). Everything was delicious. The duck breast was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Parts of the fillet mignon were well-done instead of medium but my husband didn’t mind. The bar tender/server was cheerful and the service was great.

A very very good meal. On par with some of the 1 Michellin star restaurants we’ve been to in San Francisco. The duck and foie gras are a must!

A mainstay in the town of Mendocino that I have visited and dined at many times in the past 20 years. I had a pastry and coffee from the Brickery in their garden. Awesome setting on a mellow afternoon.

Lovely bistro with excellent wine selection. The morel and white truffle risotto was excellent.

Elegant, cozy setting with good ambiance. The savory dishes are well flavored and cooked perfectly, especially the duck entree. The bread are baked in house and very delicious. The wine list features many local wineries. The only disappointing element is the dessert chocolate torte, which tastes like a overly sweet granola with plain ice cream.

Cozy, tidy, and tasty drinks.I was surprised by the wide selection of beer and wine here. We just got an oat milk latte and cold brew but they had lots of good options. Nearby they had a fine dining room for brunch and dinner, which we almost ate, it looks very nice in there. Instead we ate at the pizza stand they have set up outside in their courtyard.There are several great pizza options that seem to rotate seasonally.Basically, they have a lot of ways to take care of your food and beverage needs. I was surprised and pleased to discover what they had to offer.I highly recommend checking this place out, ESPECIALLY if its a pretty day!
