Description:
SONOMA. Pleasant, sunny, and relaxed, this local favorite makes its home in the historic Sonoma Hotel. Lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch feature an appealing selection of traditional French dishes with a few Californian touches in the mix. The namesake ingredient appears in a housemade fig cake that accompanies the cheese plate, as well as in the fresh fig and arugula salad, accented with pecans and pancetta. A savory croque monsieur, grilled polenta, and salmon nicoise are other choices, but save room for dessert – delights like pumpkin cheesecake and fig crisp await. |

Description:
GLEN ELLEN. Quaint and cottage-like, Glen Ellen Inn is a veritable home away from home for wise diners who stop by for an evening of fine food and wine. During warmer months, garden dining is available, and a covered, heated patio is available year-round. The menu emphasizes local products, and main dishes sparkle – cabernet-braised lamb shank with roast vegetables, Chilean sea bass with spinach and mushroom puff pastry, and grilled pork medallions with feta and capers. Expectedly, the wine list is equally impressive. Reservations are a must. |

Description:
YOUNTVILLE. A culinary institution. Period. A dazzling, whimsical, and playfully serious bastion of California country French cuisine, this restaurant offers a near-religious experience to savvy diners. Heavenly entrees might include pan-seared duck breast with endive "marmalade," apricot compote, and seared foie gras, or roasted lamb with polenta and caramelized Meyer lemon. For dessert, opt for something fun, like "coffee and doughnuts" – elegant cinnamon-sugar confections with cappuccino semifreddo. Plan ahead, because you'll have to call at least two months in advance just to get a reservation. Nine course chef tasting menu and nine course vegetable tasting menu. |

Description:
YOUNTVILLE. Something about once-sleepy Yountville breathes francophilia into folks who spend any amount of time within its boundaries – perhaps it's the existence of so many terrific French bistros and cafes in such a small area. Bouchon, with its sidewalk seating, groovy zinc bar, hand-painted tile floors, and cozy banquettes, is one of those places. Owned by Thomas Keller, head chef at the renowned French Laundry, this brasserie features everything from mussels marinieres to classic steak frites and leg of lamb. |

Description:
NAPA. Charming, rustic Angèle serves rich, tempting dishes from southern France. Boasting a small bar and a pleasing riverside patio, the restaurant offers a coziness that happily ensconces patrons as they dine. A peach, nectarine and arugula appetizer salad leaves plenty of room for your plat chaud; try spring chicken with chanterelle mushrooms or filet mignon bordelaise. The galette aux fruits, a summer fruit tart with citrus-infused whipped cream, is a popular dessert choice. |

Description:
NAPA. Although the legendary Julia Childs had no stake in this eatery, she did allow its founders to borrow her name. As such, the kitchen finds itself having to live up to pretty high expectations. Fortunately, thanks to dishes like braised veal short-ribs and roasted monkfish with applewood bacon, due tribute is paid. The contemporary, streamlined restaurant features gray concrete floors, stainless steel accents, retro furniture, an open-plan kitchen, and industrial lighting. An outdoor dining area overlooks olive trees, manicured gardens, and the Napa River. |
