Café Maddalena
This café put Dunsmuir on the foodie map. Though original owner, Maddalena Sera, no longer runs the café (rumor has it she is now Francis Ford Coppola's personal chef), Bret LaMott (of Mt Shasta Trinity Café fame) maintains the restaurant's stellar reputation. The menu features southern European and North African specialties and the wine bar is stocked with rare Mediterranean labels.

Salt H20 Café
Dinner here is… different. The menu, like the decor (walls smothered in fishing nets, paintings, posters, snapshots, sea creature cutouts…), discombobulates. Parts of the seven-course offering are superb (cedar-plank salmon); others are lily-gilding confusions (sweet coconut covered oysters). Edible orchids (not gilded) are part of the meal, as are rich desserts.

Jack's Grill
This funky little old-time place is popular with locals (and curious visitors who wonder what all the fuss is about). All the fuss is about steak - big, thick, charbroiled chunks of it. Regulars start lining up for dinner at 16:00, when cocktail hour begins. There are no reservations, so it easily takes an hour for seating… hey, no wait at the bar.

Brown Trout Café & Gallery
This is a casual, high-ceilinged, brick-walled, wi-fi hangout with a light satisfying menu. Enjoy excellent espresso drinks including Mexican mocha. Lunch highlights include specialty sandwiches (eg veggie with pesto or Jamaican jerk chicken) and salads (pear and blue cheese… yum). There's a short wine and microbrew list too.

Cornerstone Bakery & Café
Serves smooth, strong coffee, espresso and chai. All baked goods - including thick, gooey cinnamon rolls - are warm from the oven. There's an array of veggie (as well as non-veggie) dishes to choose from including creative omelettes (like cactus), soups and salads; the wine list is extensive as is the dessert selection.

Mi Pueblito
At the corner of Larkspur south of downtown, and hidden among the many chain giants, this bright, friendly, family-run restaurant serves fresh and authentic Mexican food. The huarraches (a sort of cornmeal turnover stuffed with beans, onions and cheese) are very good; the burritos are fat and juicy.

Noelle's Garden Café
The best (and pretty much only) place for breakfast. There's seating inside the cheery house as well as on the adjoining vine-trellised deck. It has many lunch choices - soups, sandwiches, salads - with lots of veggie options. The breakfast burrito is especially good.

Angelini's Italian Restaurant
At the time of research this upscale new eatery had yet to open but the last bricks were being laid on the back patio's wood-fire oven. The proposed menu promised fresh pasta, steaks, pizza, seafood and a short but varied wine selection.

La Grange Café
Spacious, yet intimate, this celebrated multi-star restaurant serves exceptional light, fresh and satisfying fare (fish, poultry, pasta and big fresh salads). There's a very friendly atmosphere, both in the pub and salon dining room.

The Red House
Airy, bambooey, light - definitely well feng shuied. This inviting spot serves light snacks, coffee, espresso and a wide selection of teas. If you're in a hurry (rare in Weaverville), there's a drive-thru window.

Señor Rosas
Run by a couple of gringos, this taco joint isn't authentic, but it's genuinely delicioso. Ingredients are fresh and organic and there are more than a couple of veggie choices on the menu.

This hip and homey split-level pubby place serves the healthiest food in town (eg big fresh salads, homemade soup). There's a good selection of beer and wine too. Friday nights get a little rowdy.
