Dining
Great food is available in all price ranges in Sonoma. Start your day with breakfast or lunch at a popular, inexpensive café, such as the Creekside Café, located next door to the Sonoma Creek Inn. Open daily, Creekside Café offers favorites such as egg dishes, sandwiches, salads and a casual atmosphere with seating indoors and out.

For dinner, seek out smaller, non-chain restaurants, where the chef you saw at the Farmers’ Market is now preparing your meal. A classic example: the Glen Ellen Inn, an short jaunt from the historic plaza. The Glen Ellen Inn menu features locally-grown produce, fresh seafood and meat; the executive chef is an avid gardener who cooks with the current season in mind.
