We come here every time we're in Mendocino and always enjoy our meal. Our appetizer turned out to be the highlight of the dinner this time - a lobster salad with an outstanding dressing. The duck was partially excellent (the confit) and partially disappointing ( the breast) . All in all, a very enjoyable meal.

Had Sunday lunch in this place. It's in a side street at the back of town, in the midst of some of the more spectacular towers that characterise this place. Small restaurant but very attractive. The crab cakes were excellent. I note that it is rated no 1 on Trip Advisor and certsinly my experience supports this rating. I also... More

We had a reservation & were escorted around the back & upstairs & were seated at a tiny table directly by the door we had just entered & directly in line w the kitchen door, where servers were coming & going. This small entry way should've been kept clear, both for arrivals and staff. Luckily we were able to switch... More

Hey it's Mendocino, right? Laid back, take your time kind of place. But we waited from 1PM to 2PM to get our straight-off-the-menu lunch served. Once we did, it was delicious but I guess the kitchen staff needed a break. Mendocino's a tiny place but lots of scenic views with funky shopping and dining establishments. Cafe Beaujolais is always recommended... More

Food was fresh and tasty. Waitress didn't go out of her way to be helpful. Didn't seem interested in doing her job.

My husband and I had a very memorable meal at Café Beaujolais to celebrate our 35th anniversary! The restaurant is small and cozy, and the staff friendly and accommodating.... We had a fabulous meal! My husband had a starter he really enjoyed (although, unfortunately, I can't remember what it was!). For our main course, my husband had duck prepared two... More

Quaint restaurant in an old Victorian house in downtown Mendocino. Dinner and lunch served. Both meals are very good. Adjacent bakery supplies outstanding breads. Menu a bit limited but well executed. Great wine list.

What a lovely place to have a romantic dinner! My filet was to die for and the waitress helped me pair it with a great pinot from Navarro. The ambiance was lovely in the resturant and we were both so glad we picked Beaujolais to have dinner.

This restaurant has had a good reputation for many years. I recently returned for an excellent dinner on a Thursday night after nearly 40 years since my first visit. It is located on a side street in the town of Mendocino and though small, manages to seat about a dozen tables. My companion and I both shared an appetizer of... More

Great food. In particular, the Petaluma Duck. Yum! Service was unobtrusive but professional. Make reservations. It fills up fast.
