Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips, compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips.

Sunflower Caffé

Located on the town square, Sunflower Caffé offers a variety of brunch dishes featuring locally sourced ingredients. The cafe offers outdoor patio seating and serves breakfast all day. Lovers of more traditional breakfast and brunch dishes can keep it simple with the vegetarian burrito featuring farm fresh eggs. For more adventurous eaters, the chicharron, a classic Peruvian breakfast sandwich, includes pork belly and a spicy mango mayonnaise. If something sweet is desired, the waffle bar provides the opportunity to mix and match waffles and toppings to create the perfect plate.

Situated next to Sunflower Caffé is El Dorado Kitchen, an upscale hotel restaurant combo with a varied Sunday brunch menu. Seafood lovers can start with the ahi tuna tartare from the appetizer menu and move to the smoked salmon benedict for the main course. Oysters are also served daily, and can be enjoyed in the outdoor courtyard underneath the trees. EDK and executive chef Armando Navarro pride themselves on showcasing local, seasonal ingredients in the dishes served.

The Girl and the Fig

Rounding out the brunch spots located on the historic Sonoma Plaza is The Girl and the Fig. Another upscale dining experience, The Girl and the Fig allows customers to choose between indoor seating and a secluded outdoor dining area. Sunday brunch pairs French cuisine with an American twist. The quiche lorraine is a French staple, while the potato rösti with grilled avocado provides that Californian flavor. For a lighter meal, a single pastry or an assortment of morning buns, croissants, and chocolate twists can be ordered off the ‘From the Oven menu.’

Creekside Cafe

Creekside Cafe ties together a jumble of quirky elements to create a unique but comforting homestyle dining experience. A different set of novelty salt and pepper shakers from the owner’s personal collection adorns each table, along with homemade jams and jellies. The huevos rancheros are highly regarded by customers as the best in the valley, and the rest of the comfort food staples do not disappoint. On weekends, diners have the added option of ordering eggs Benedict. Creekside Cafe is the ideal restaurant if looking for a old school diner experience.
