961 Ukiah St., (707) 937-5614. L W-Sun, D daily; $$-$$$. Reservations advised.
This long-time restaurant operates within an 1893 Victorian farmhouse, now updated with a clean-lined contemporary sleek style featuring sedate colors and dangling track lights. According to one local resident, “This is the best restaurant in town.” Lunch items at Cafe Beaujolais are enticing and might include a Niman Ranch burger, crab cakes Benedict, or quiche. Dinner entrees might include roasted chicken with plenty of mashed potatoes and roasted garlic, a vegetarian spanakopita with sunchokes, or the house specialty pan-roasted California sturgeon fillet with housemade tagliatelle and wild forest mushrooms. For dessert, it’s hard to go wrong with coconut cream pie in a chocolate macaroon crust accompanied by herbal tea served in special plunger pots.
Exceptional breads, including a dense Austrian sunflower version, are baked out back in the Brickery’s wood-burning oven. Do return to pick up a loaf and perhaps a package of the delicious Early Bird Cashew Granola before leaving town.
