SAZON
1129 Sebastopol Rd. Santa Rosa
Peruvian restaurant that uses native ingredients. The best Ceviche I've ever had.
The owner will guide you through the dishes and provide a thoroughly educational experience about Peruvian cuisine.
LA BODEGA/Sonoma Wine Shop
2295 Gravenstein Hwy S. Sebastopol (across from Flea Market and same spot as Eloise, Bistro V, Chez Peyo).
Local, seasonal ingredients in salads, pastas, main courses, desserts. Everything is homemade including the bread.
The wines are from small production, local wineries and the staff will happily offer you tastes of several wines before you order.
OCHOA'S
777 Gravenstein Ave. Sebastopol (across from McDonald's)
It's been around forever and one of the best bargains around. I got a bean and cheese taco with fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and cilantro and a small serving of tortilla chips for $2.15. They offer several McDougall's dishes. Great place for quick service, fresh ingredients, and great prices.
