♦ Tomales Deli + Cafe
Tomales Deli + Cafe is one of our favorite places to enjoy a hot breakfast and delicious coffee. We have only been to this one for breakfast, so that's what we'll recommend it for, but we have heard that they have great lunches as well. They've got a very nice outdoor seating area that looks like it would be wonderful during the warmer months of the year. Our only complaint is that you don't get free refills on the coffee. But then, the coffee is inexpensive enough that we don't really mind. It's so good! You can find Tomales Deli + Cafe at 27000 Maine Street in Tomales.
♦ Rocker Oysterfeller's ♦
Rocker Oysterfeller's is one of the most unique restaurants that you'll find in the Dillon Beach area, this one being located in nearby Valley Ford. It's a Southern inspired restaurant, focusing on locally sourced foods, of course including some of the best oysters you'll ever taste! They've also got ownderful burgers and chicken wings, and a great pulled pork sandwich that we can never resist! You can find Rocker Oysterfeller's at 14415 Highway One. Very VERY highly recommended!
♦ William Tell House Restaurant ♦
If you love really high quality steaks and burgers, you'll definitely want to take a look at William Tell House Restaurant and William Tell Saloon in nearby Tomales. We love their rib eye steaks the best, and their potatoes are simply fantastic. We really enjoy the rustic atmosphere here, and the high quality service really takes it to another level. The location is very nice too, located on California 1 near the intersection with Shoreline Highway. Just a great place to stop for lunch or dinner any day of the week!
♦ Hog Island Oyster ♦
Hog Island Oyster is a very unique spot that we can never pass up, but we're not quite sure if restaurant is the correct term for this one! Oyster farm is more like it. This is the kind of place where you bring your own tools, charcoal for barbecueing, and even your own picnic gear. If you don't own your own shucking knife and glove, you can rent one. It's included in the picnic fee. You'll be surprised how fun this is on dates, and it's also a great thing to do as a family. You can find Hog Island Oyster at 20215 California 1!
