Walnut Creek
Telefèric Barcelona – Spanish tapas done right. Patatas bravas, gin & tonics, repeat.
Va de Vi Bistro & Wine Bar – Cozy wine bar with legit food. Easy to lose track of time here.
Massimo Ristorante – Classic Italian. White tablecloth energy without feeling stuffy.
Broderick Roadhouse – Burgers, fries, and milkshakes that go hard. Casual and fun.
Rooftop at Walnut Creek – Drinks with a view. Come for golden hour, stay for the vibes.
Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse – Steaks, martinis, and celebratory dinners. You know the drill.
True Food Kitchen – Healthy but actually tastes good. Great when you want to feel virtuous.
Pacific Catch – Fresh seafood with a Cali-coastal feel. The poke trio always hits and the steak bowls are super tasty too.
Lita – Modern Mediterranean with bold flavors and a scene. One of WC’s hottest tables right now. Great place to meet for drinks and apps.
Tatsu Sushi – High-quality sushi without the hype. Quietly excellent. Previously owned by a buddy’s family, the new owners have kept the quality high.
Bourbon Highway – Southern comfort food, whiskey, and live music energy.
Boudin SF – Sourdough everything. Reliable lunch stop when you’re shopping nearby.
Morucci’s of Walnut Creek – Legendary deli sandwiches. Order ahead or prepare to wait. Worth it.
La Fontaine - Steak frites every time. The octopus appetizer is solid and you can’t go wrong with their calamari either!
Montesacro – Roman-style pizza with crispy crusts. Light, airy, dangerously easy to eat.
Tiki Tom’s – Retro tiki bar fun. Strong drinks, happy vibes, and an unexpectedly great time.
Heavenly Bistro – Nicest owners! Makes a great latte. My favorite thing on the menu is their corned beef hash. Give it a try!
Melo’s Italian Table – Family-style Italian that’s always buzzing. Crowd-pleaser.
Modern China Cafe – Classic night out with friends catching up over some drinks and appetizers. Sit by the fire and catch a vibe.
Lettuce - Reliable lunch spot with a rotating sandwich menu. Their chicken cutlet sandwich with sun dried tomato pesto is probably my favorite sandwich in the Bay right now.
Tacos Walnut Creek - Good food for a very affordable price in downtown Walnut Creek. Their Taco Tuesday deal is 3 street tacos + an agua fresca for $10 and the tacos aren’t skimpy. How do you beat that??
Original Joe’s - Nothing beats a nice meal at Joe’s. We’ve been going to OG Joe’s in SF and at West Lake for years. Chicken parm with raviolis please!
Mensho Tokyo - Coming soon!!
