From cozy and casual to elegant and refined, Marin County is home to more than 500 restaurants. Every region of the world is represented with its own rich and diverse ethnic cuisine, and friendly and engaging restaurateurs happily share their history and secrets.
Marin’s sophisticated restaurants have access to California’s freshest seasonal ingredients. Fifty percent of Marin County is farmland growing a variety of fruits and vegetables, including olives and wine grapes. Dairy farms supply 20 percent of the San Francisco Bay Area’s milk, as well as artisan cheeses and butter. Marin County, surrounded by water on three sides, enjoys the freshest of fish and seafood, locally farmed oysters, clams and mussels. Marin County is known throughout California and the nation for its outstanding organic agriculture, family farms, and unique produce. Much of Marin’s overall agricultural production is certified organic, as well as the county’s progressive natural and organic agricultural practices.
Your Marin County dining experience may bring you to a mountain-side lodge providing dramatic views, a bayside café with views of sailboats and the Golden Gate Bridge, a rustic ranch with live music and dancing, a modern Italian villa, or a historic country inn. Fine wines, of course, are the order of the day, with the best of California’s wine country at our doorstep.

Chipotle

Great tasting food starts with great quality, raw ingredients. That’s why we’re obsessed with searching the nation’s farms and ranches for the freshest, finest, most wholesome ingredients we can find. We want you to have it all: the best ingredients, selected with care for animal welfare, the environment, the family farm, and your health. We serve more naturally raised meat – from humanely raised and vegetarian-fed animals that are never given antibiotics or growth hormones – they any other restaurant in the world. And wherever possible, we like to get our produce from local family farms each summer.
Food like this was once served only by the most discerning chefs in the top restaurants or available in specialty food markets. But we think everyone deserves to each better food from better sources – because food of this quality not only tastes superior, but is better for you.
