Amber India

Northern Indian recipes, freshly prepared so that the full flavors of the ingredients come through.
Gayle’s

This bakery and rosticceria has an extraordinary selection of gourmet treats – try the cappuccino cake.
Las Camelias

Everything here is homemade and unusual. The decor is particularly appealing, most of the art being the work of the charming hostess-owner.
Le Cheval

This may be the largest restaurant you’ll ever see, yet efficiently run. Expect to wait at the friendly bar for a table, then get ready for Vietnamese cuisine at its best.
Los Gatos Coffee Roasting Company

Sit here and watch the busy street, lined with antiques stores, sip your choice of delicious brew, and snack on tempting tidbits.
Ozzie’s Soda Fountain

Established in 1921, it hasn’t changed since the 1950s. It’s a classic soda fountain, with root beer floats, meatloaf sandwiches, and blueberry pancakes.
Parkside

Creative American brunch at picnic tables on the patio, or in the dining room. Try grilled buffalo burger on rosemary foccacia.
Piazza d’Angelo

This first-rate Italian has a creative menu and a fine selection of wines. Indoor and outdoor seating, a lavish dessert cart, and a very happening feel.
The Bridgeway Café

Great for breakfast or lunch; you’ll find a range of American favorites at this cozy little diner looking right out onto the Bay.
The Lark Creek Inn

The redwood-shaded garden loveliness of this Marin hideaway is impossible to fault. The food is innovative New American cuisine such as roasted parsnip soup with black truffles.
