CALISTOGA DINING

RESTAURANTS

The Brannan Cottage Inn is located within walking distance of many fine restaurants in Calistoga. They range from upscale grills to continental to Italian to Mexican (3 approaches to the style) to American to barbecue. Information about several that have been visited by our guests and ourselves, and that have received high marks on food quality and service, are included (some with web site links) in alphabetical order below.

Of course, for breakfast in the Napa Valley there is only one place we recommend - the historic Brannan Cottage Inn Bed and Breakfast where you will enjoy a fine preparation of some of the worlds best breakfast recipes to start your day off right.
