Description:
Easily one of the most popular and best restaurants in Sonoma County is The Girl & the Fig, located on the plaza in downtown Sonoma. However, this world-famous restaurant had humble beginnings in a cozy, slant-roofed riverside cafe in rustic Glen Ellen, and that's the space that now houses the unpretentious Fig Café and Winebar. Think of it this way; it's a chance to sample the Sonoma Valley locavore-meets-country-French cuisine that made restaurateur Sonda Bernstein a key player in foodie circles in a low-key atmosphere - and at a low-key price. The cabin-like space also houses the Fig Store, where you can pick up all things fig. I suggest not leaving without trying the butterscotch pot de creme; your life will never be the same.
