Absolutely amazing! We tried some of the specials and it was the best halibut I have ever had. Love the atmosphere, our server was great and the cheesecake was fantastic! Can't wait to visit again!

This is the ONLY place you need to eat in Mendocino! We had dinner at this incredible restaurant in July and were blown away. We were greeted with the sweetest hostess, and she even gave us some sparkling wine because we had a long wait for our table. The restaurant is small and very attentive. The food was cooked to perfection and 100% delicious! Even the desserts were incredible. We will be making this our go-to restaurant when we go back to Mendocino. Everyone was so nice too. But it even gets better, you can literally dine here all weekend. In the morning, the bar next store, "The Waiting Room" has amazing coffee and pastries and a beautiful garden where you can hang out and soak it all in. If you wait long enough, they serve pizza for lunch. I'm telling ya, this place is the bomb!! A MUST GO TO!

A new favorite breakfast spot of mine in Mendocino. So after going to Mendocino a bunch of times we've had to hone in on the breakfast options. After all, breakfast is the wifey's favorite meal. So we've been trying Cafe Beaujolais since it's usually near one of the Inn's we like to stay at, and my is it tasty. I like how it's open somewhat early too. 9:30 isn't too bad. The goal is usually to get to breakfasts spots right when they open so we can avoid peeps but even though this place usually fills up right as they open the doors, I do love the vibe. There is an elegance to it which goes with the name. But yet at the same time it does also have a homey feel like an old mom and pop breakfast spot in the Bay. For some reason out of all the times I've gone, theres always this older gentleman who seems like he's a customer but he's always just walking into the kitchen. Luckily he's never too loud or obnoxious. I just figure he's a regular who is close to the people that work here. Ultimately he always looks like he is having a good time. I mean when you think about it, the food can't be half bad if I continuously see this dude here... But the food is actually really really good. Ive come here a few times and the food always goes above and beyond. I really look forward to the breakfast every-time I go because I know it's always going to be a good meal. That's just how consistent they are. Recently I tried Benedict and I was super impressed. Both of the eggs oozed out the golden goodness when you put the knife through. The Hollandaise sauce was light, lemony and creamy. I loved the amount of Ham they give you too. Potatoes are scrumptious. The portions are pretty solid. Great service too. Everyone who serves us has always been good. I can't really think of anything that bothers me about this Cafe Beaujolais. I feel like this may be a place that flies under people's radar in Mendocino. It's definitely away from all the usual dining stuff downtown but I think people should check it out. It's classy yet homey at the same time.

Came to Cafe Beaujolais for dinner on a Thursday and Brunch on a Sunday and while overall pleased, left with some thoughts. For brunch: I would come here again and again for their pancakes. I don't even like pancakes very much and I so rarely order them but their special had peaches and I'm a sucker for peaches... turns out I'm also a sucker for slightly crispy pancakes and Cafe Beaujolais delivered! Mine were delicious but I also had a bite of a blueberry pancake from a friend and I believe those were somehow even better! The eggs Benedict was so so. The flavors were excellent but the eggs were inconsistent (one was runny, one was overcooked). The sourdough was tasty but slightly difficult to cut/eat. For dinner: The octopus had an excellent char but was over salted. The tuna crudo was perfect. The duck was delicious The salmon was absurdly delicious. The strawberry rhubarb crumble was insensibly large and just fine (maybe they should call it a dessert for 2) The financier was also just fine. Some reviews say service is slow, I didn't experience that at all. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and the location feels homey and cozy. My key takeaways: Order pancakes for brunch For dinner: order entrees, skip dessert

Amazing food! Appreciate the vegetarian option. Probably the best chocolate cake I've ever eaten. Plus they were very busy on 4th of July, still the hostess was calm and sweet. A couple ahead of us was playing the classic if there's no table here, we ll go somewhere else. This is 4th of July, nothing else was open. The hostess could have just asked them to try finding another restaurant. But she didn't and convinced them to stay! I have never seen a busy restaurant be so nice to customers.

Weeknight spontaneous dinner as tourists from the Bay Area. We were lucky to snag a table with about a 15 minute wait. Vibes are romantic old cottage, special occasion dinner type so dress accordingly. We felt a little out of place not as dressed up, but we were hungry after finding out the Italian place next door was completely booked and so here we are. It's a pricey establishment, similar to NYC or more fancier SF restaurants. That kind of set some expectations before any of the dishes arrived. Thankfully everything was good, and as a party of 4 plus a baby; we tried a variety of food. Everything was plated beautifully. Flavors were above average, and can tell the kitchen staff know what they're doing. Even the walnut financier and berry cake for dessert were yummy and not your average 'i see this everywhere' type of desserts. The walnut flavor was there, and the financier had a slight hard crisp exterior while the inside was heavenly soft and warm. The berry cake was bursting with fresh berries, and was a very out of cookbook berry purple color (not yellow sponge cake layered w/fruit pebble type) so kudos to the dessert chef too! Service was very attentive and friendly. Only a minus star because the bill had an automatic 20% gratuity. Maybe I missed the fine print.

If you're only having one dinner in Mendocino, this is easily the one I would recommend. Set in a quaint Victorian farmhouse, Cafe Beaujolais is perfect for a a quiet, intimate meal to celebrate an anniversary, birthday or other special occasion. Everything that we ordered was just superb: - Pan Seared Hokkaido Scallops (5/5): ideally seared with pistachio browned butter to achieve an ever so slightly crisp exterior with a heavenly soft interior and served atop a bed of quinoa and an exquisitely creamy but light cauliflower purée - ugh, chef's kiss~ - Liberty Farms Duck Breast (4.5/5): crispy medium rare duck served in a delectable kumquat gastrique flavored with five spice, served alongside the perfect potato pave (crispy on the outside, tender and buttery on the inside) - Passionfruit Creme Brûlée (4.5/5): as a fan of all things passion fruit, this dessert was so up my alley and briefly transported me back to recent Hawaiian vacays, absolutely scrumptious All of the ingredients are fresh tasting and locally sourced for that farm-to-fork goodness that epitomizes the Mendocino coast. Currently, Beaujolais is split into three eateries: the Cafe (dinner fine dining), the Brickery (casual lunch - think brick oven pizzas and smashburgers) and the Waiting Room (lounge with coffee, alc drinks, and small bites) to match whatever vibes you're in the mood for so make this a must on your itinerary while in town!

Came here for a birthday dinner for Friend and had an incredible meal The service was fantastic. They were on top of our water and drinks at all times. The food was outstanding, and the wine was incredible . We had: Four Gras - delicious 8-Hour Tagliatelle Bolognese. -- wow Pan Seared Hokkaido Scallops- the biggest scallops I've ever seen!!!! Local Black Cod - incredible Make sure you make a reservation- highly recommend this amazing restaurant

My fiancé took me out for an amazing birthday dinner at Cafe Beaujolais. They have a very interesting menu! I was surprised to see Vietnamese prawn salad and foie gras in the same setting, but it just ensures there's something for everyone here. We got to enjoy a few items: -prawn ceviche: one of their appetizer specials for the evening. Very good flavor, but boring. What I liked most about this dish was the chips that came with them. They were crispy and fluffy. If I could go back, I'd probably order their king salmon tartare appetizer, another special of the day. It just sounded more interesting. -pan seared Hokkaido scallops: an amazing dish! By far our favorite. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the cauliflower purée complemented the dish so well. -black cod: delish! The mushroom agnolotti had amazing flavor. -8hr tagliatelle bolognese: we split this and I'm glad we did bc it was very filing. Pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was great. -dark chocolate cremeux: very rich dark chocolate flavor but not overly sweet. The shell was nice and crunchy. It's like having chocolate pudding in a tart shell. We really enjoyed our meal here and would recommend this spot for anyone wanting to celebrate something special--or if someone just wanted to eat well :)
