El Dorado County's Best Restaurant, Bar, and Café Guide
From El Dorado Hills to Lotus, Cameron Park to Pollock Pines, and Placerville to South Lake Tahoe, El Dorado County has seen a great expansion of all types of restaurants.
Some of the diverse flavors include American, Chinese, El Salvadorian, French, Japanese, Indian, Italian, Mexican, Mongolian, Thai & more.
With all styles of dining from Take-out to 7 course meals, you'll find a restaurant for every occasion.
For exquisite cuisine or that special occasion, fine dining showcases the glitter of the Gold Rush that founded this community. Enjoy an elegant experience as you sip a local wine offered at one of the Fine Dining establishments in the Golden Hills.
The cultural diversity in California is reflected in the variety of cuisines offered in El Dorado County. From the spice of the Orient to the Mexican heat, you'll find what your craving offered with local hospitality.
The population boom in El Dorado County is due in no small part to new families flocking to the local hills and mountains. Kids menus, high chairs and a patient spirit welcome you to a family style meal.
Offering great coffee drinks, fresh pastries, seasonal soups & delicious sandwiches, the nearby cafés and coffee houses lend a community spirit to every area of El Dorado County. Use the Dining Guide with maps to find a Café near where you're going to be today.
You're no longer confined to Drive Thru when needing a quick bite or something to go. When you just need something quick and delicious or want to eat at the office, check the Dining Guide for menus in your area. Some offer the ability to fax or call in your order for a quick pickup. Ask about delivery options available.
The excellent growing conditions, good drainage, & minerals add to the distinct characteristic of the wines and micro brews produced in this area. Taste what the hills have to offer. Some of these establishments offer a simple appetizer, while others offer a full menu. Many have majestic views, so book some extra time to enjoy the scenery.

The festival is a fundraising event for American River Music, a charitable organization with a mission "to teach, inspire and enjoy music". We think we're on the right track when we get feedback from folks like S.W. of Placerville who said about last year's festival, "I had the wonderful experience of attending the Music Festival yesterday. I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed it. I have told all my co-workers and will also tell all my friends that we MUST go next year. The musicians were absolutely spectacular. The setting was so beautiful. I can't imagine a more enjoyable day."
We'd sure appreciate it if you'd lend your support by telling a friend!
All the best,
