If you like Mediterranean food, this is the place to go. Seriously, wow. Get their Mezze plate, it's insane. They also have a takeaway counter. Kid-friendly, easy parking, short walk to downtown San Anselmo (which is lovely)

Great Eats—Breakfast
This is our go-to for breakfast. Everything you could wish for, and more. The avocado on toast and the ham/bacon quiche are a must. Croissants are great, too. They have a sister bakery in Tiburon. Also great

Who doesn't like pizza? This place is great. I vote for the pesto and pepperoni pizza. Take it to go and sit in the park. Pizza for dinner, why not.

Good for lunch and dinner. Wholesome and healthy wraps, bowls, salads, etc. We lived off Cafe del Soul during the pandemic. They do deliver. My go-to is the Meditteranean Muse wrap with chicken. This location is in San Rafael, but they also have one at Tam Junction in Mill Valley.

This place is amazing. Truly. Slap-bang in the middle of Golden Gate Park. Kids love it, adults love it. If you have the time I would highly recommend going. The butterfly sanctuary is next-level. The albino crocodile is cool, too. Make sure you book ahead. It can get busy at the weekends. Take a walk in Golden Gate park after.
