Best Lunch Restaurants in Healdsburg

This is an exceptional destination for dinner in restaurant-laden Healdsburg. Comfortably presented in what used to be a small house with a nicely landscaped back yard, the environment is much less chaotic than a commercial restaurant space. The menu and wine list are extensive, with a range of choices to please all tastes. We enjoyed an all-tapas meal, including bacalao cigarillos (outstanding), crispy chicken thighs, sauteed spinach, chorizo & shishito peppers, and las patatas bravas. We had a nice, steely, refreshing Spanish white wine, El Coto, which complemented all dishes. The sauces kicked each of the dishes up a notch, with romesco and romesco aioli mayonnaise being most memorable. We were attended by what seemed like a horde of staff, rather than a particular server, but all were very enthusiastic and moved with blurry speed. We were STUFFED by the five tapas we ordered, so we did not even consider dessert, but the coffee we ordered sticks out as the best we've had in recent experience: it is served in a metal French press, with a uniform grind that is sized to be effectively filtered out by a very fine mesh screen in the press (no grounds or fines make it into the coffee). I don't know the brand of coffee, but it was very rich and smooth, without bitterness or acidity. So different from the coffee I make for myself that I feel like I'm obliged to rave about it. Even the furniture of this place was memorable. If you are visiting Healdsburg you must try Bravas.

I truly enjoyed every moment, from the outstanding service and atmosphere to the top notch produce & food. The staff, service, the identity of the restaurant and the attention to detail made it an unforgettable experience. Everything was truly world class. I look forward to the next time!

I’m local and I am totally spoiled by the amazing food and wine scene in Sonoma County. It had been 6 months since I’d been here and so glad I returned! This is The Best Sonoma County Rooftop Experience! From the ambiance, to the service and food- beat value in Sonoma county! We went on a chilly January evening and sat on the rooftop, cozy bench with pillows, fire tables all around, amazing food and service! Can’t wait to go back.

Willi’s never disappoints. Excellent and imaginative tapas, good wine selection and excellent service. We were four friends meeting with a lot to share having last seen each other over a year ago. The server never rushed us even though we were in a desirable booth.
