The many charms of the far-off lands to the north of the Golden Gate are a siren’s call to city dwellers and tourists eager for a mini-escape to the green acres of Marin and wine country. Restaurants around the North Bay beckon with comfort food, plant-based fare from a team with Michelin cred, all the noodles from Charles Phan, Southeast Asian pastries and desserts, and more.
Sure, the wine ain’t half bad but it’s the expanding food scene that’s creating its own hoopla these days. Here are 14 upcoming and new restaurants to explore in the North Bay this spring and summer.
