Places to eat & drink in Healdsburg, CA
Single Thread Restaurant: Sonoma County’s first three-Michelin Star restaurant. If you enjoy fine dining, the Single Thread tasting menu is a must!
Cyrus Restaurant: This restaurant is near and dear to my heart, because I got engaged here many years ago. I recently dined at the newly reopened Cyrus in Geyserville and the 20-ish-course tasting menu proved to be a true bucket-list dining experience. The Bubbles Lounge has a more abbreviated menu if you are looking for a slightly less formal experience.
Little Saint: This 100% plant-based restaurant has a first-floor cafe that serves brunch, happy hour and dinner. The upstairs level has a set dinner menu with an optional wine pairing.
The Matheson: Lively and fun restaurant on the square in Healdsburg. I highly recommend catching the sunset and enjoying the clarified margarita at Roof 106, the rooftop cocktail bar.
Quail & Condor: A divine bakery a short walk from the square. Start your day with coffee and a pistachio croissant. Make sure to buy extra cookies and treats to go.
Troubadour Bread & Bistro: The perfect sandwich by day, French prix fixe by night.
Spoon Bar: Creative cocktails at the H2 hotel.
Maison Healdsburg: Large by-the-glass wine list, to allow you to taste some extra special wines. If you need a palate cleanser, they also have sake and beer.
Healdsburg Bubble Bar: Parisian-style Champagne tasting room. Brut Rosé in a coupe glass. Oui, oui!
Lo and Behold Bar & Kitchen: Great late-night scene and craft cocktails. The perfect spot for a nightcap.
