Sausalito is a great little seaside town, but eating here can be expensive and quality can be hit or miss. Here are some of my favorite places to get a bite after a bike ride over the Golden Gate Bridge.
Cibo - 1201 Bridgeway - http://cibosausalito.com
* Organic, local, and very well done. This great little cafe is probably the place I eat at the most when I come to Sausalito. Salads, soups, sandwiches, home made pop-tarts from scratch, Blue Bottle Coffee, it's all great. Their granola and yogurt is hands down the best I've ever tried anywhere. Who orders granola and yogurt?! Theirs will convert you!
Fish. - 350 Harbor Drive - http://www.331fish.com
* This might very well be the best seafood restaurant in the whole bay area. It's totally hidden, cash only, and not cheep, but it's completely worth it. You're not paying for fancy decor, you're paying for great fresh local organic sustainably-caught seafood. Just the way it should be.
Poggio - 777 Bridgeway - http://www.poggiotrattoria.com
* Looking for a "nice" restaurant? This is your spot. Italian/California Fusion Cuisine, they know how to do classy right. I love their sweet-potatoes au gratin!
Sushi Ran - 107 Caledonia Street - http://www.sushiran.com
* This place is always wining awards for their amazing sushi. If you're gonna do sushi in Marin, this is THE place to go.
Philz Coffee - 317 Johnson Street - http://www.philzcoffee.com
* Philz is the first coffee place in the Bay Area to really do the "cup at a time" place, and they're totally experts at it. It's not open yet in Sasalito (and I'm not sure how they can beat Cibo for title of best coffee in town), but when they open it'll be a great addition to town. They do a mint julep iced coffee with fresh crushed mint and brown sugar that's pretty darn amazing.
Salsalito Taco Shop - 1115 Bridgeway - http://www.salsalitotacoshop.com
* Now with burritos! I don't know why they were holding out the burritos from us, but they've got them now and they're great. Lot's of good stuff on the menu here. I love their huevos rancheros.
Sausalito Bakery & Cafe - 571 Bridgeway - http://goo.gl/5FQ2M
* Cookies: Amazing. Bread pudding: Amazing. Grilled vegetable sandwich: Best I've ever had. This spot is totally a winner if you're looking for somewhere to eat right in downtown.
Hamburgers Sausalito - 737 Bridgeway - http://www.hamburgersausalito.com
* There's a reason they've got a line going out the door and down the block. If you're looking for something for picnicking in the park with across the street, this little hamburgers spot is a great choice.
You're making me hungry!
