Ricochet Gourmet
At this much adored cafe-cum-deli, the menu bounces from break-fast frittatas to curry chicken salad and fragrant soups, all of them homemade using organic and seasonal ingredients.

Mandoline
The village's best eatery puts clever, globally inspired spins on pasta and grilled foods in a setting that combines antler chandeliers with hip black tablecloths without looking ridiculous.

Alchemy
It's a spin-the-globe menu of local ingredients from small plates (including charcuterie or Parmesan frites with garlic aioli), and Jidori chicken with bok choy and shiitake dumplings, in an art-filled blond-wood room.

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.

Bono's
Sonny Bono's daughter Christy presides over this upbeat, beachy lair right on Belmont Shore's buzzy 2nd St. The menu is strongest on light yet flavor-packed salads and sandwiches – the Lobster, Avocado & Papaya salad is a stand-out. Dinner mains like sesame-crusted ahi and honey-glazed salmon are well executed but lack imagination.

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.

Butterfield Room
The fine dining restaurant at La Casa del Zorro is very fine indeed. A changing menu provides fresh takes on standards, plus plenty of local ingredients (the kit fox salad combines lettuce, citrus, walnuts and dates), and there's an enviable if pricey wine list. Desserts are off the wall. Dress code is collared shirt, dress pants and shoes for men, 'appropriate attire' for women.

Spettro
Spettro has a quirky decor and friendly attitude that keeps fans coming back for its homespun, culturally mixed cuisine. Pizzas, stir fries and chili Colorado give an idea of the unusual mix offered. Very family friendly.
