Selected entries from the current guide for Sausalito.
Sausalito, United States
A Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient in both 2024 and 2025, Sushi Ran on Caledonia Street occupies a rare position in the North Bay dining scene: serious Japanese technique delivered at a price point well below the omakase tier. This Sausalito address holds its own against far pricier Bay Area competition.
Sausalito, United States
Perched at the edge of Richardson Bay in Sausalito, The Spinnaker at 100 Spinnaker Drive offers waterfront dining with direct views across the bay toward San Francisco. The restaurant sits within a small, restaurant-dense town that draws visitors arriving by ferry from the city, placing it in a competitive local field that includes Sushi Ran, Copita, and Aurora. For logistics and context, consult our full Sausalito dining guide.
Sausalito, United States
Angelino Restaurant sits on Bridgeway in Sausalito, the waterfront strip where the Bay frames every window and the sourcing conversation starts before the menu arrives. The address places it within a dining corridor that runs from raw bar counters to wood-fired kitchens, making it a reference point for how Italian-inflected cooking reads against the region's produce calendar. Worth knowing before you book.
Sausalito, United States
Aurora Ristorante Italiano occupies a suite-level address at 300 Valley St in Sausalito, positioning itself within a small-town dining scene that punches well above its size. The restaurant brings Italian cooking to a waterfront community better known for seafood shacks and Mexican cantinas, giving it a distinct category foothold among Sausalito's handful of independent operators. Reservation habits and ordering strategy depend on the night and season.

Copita Tequileria y Comida focuses on Modern Mexican Tequileria, craft cocktails, and waterfront rooftop and terrace seating in Sausalito.
Sausalito, United States
Cultivar brings wood-fired cooking to Sausalito's dining scene, anchoring its menu around a live-fire kitchen that turns out pizza, oven-roasted branzino, and meatballs alongside a focused wine and cocktail program. The format sits comfortably within the town's mid-casual register, where the cooking technique does the heavy lifting rather than elaborate plating or ceremony. It is a reliable address for a meal built around fire, smoke, and direct craft.
Sausalito, United States
Fish. sits at 350 Harbor Drive in Sausalito, a waterfront seafood counter that measures its credentials by the catch rather than the ceremony. The ordering is casual, the setting is salt-aired and open, and the sourcing philosophy places it in a distinct tier among Marin County dining options. For seafood eaten close to where it was landed, few addresses in the Bay Area match the directness of the proposition here.
Sausalito, United States
Le Garage occupies a converted waterfront space at 85 Liberty Ship Way in Sausalito, placing it squarely within the Bay Area's tradition of casual-serious dining where the setting does as much work as the kitchen. The address alone signals the approach: industrial bones, water views, and a menu that draws from the coastal proximity that defines this stretch of Marin County dining.
Sausalito, United States
On Sausalito's Bridgeway strip, where waterfront dining tilts toward fish tacos and Italian pasta, Napa Valley Burger Company occupies a practical counterpoint: a burger-focused spot drawing from the wine country associations its name signals. The address puts it within walking distance of the ferry terminal, making it a viable option for visitors arriving from San Francisco without a car.
Sausalito, United States
On Caledonia Street in downtown Sausalito, Sandrino Pizza & Vino occupies a quiet corner of a town better known for waterfront dining than neighborhood trattorias.

For visitors crossing the bay from San Francisco, it reads as a counter to the area's more elaborate dining options.
Sausalito, United States
Scoma's Sausalito occupies a prime stretch of Bridgeway, where the waterfront dining tradition that defines this Marin County town meets a menu built around the Pacific's daily catch. The format here is direct seafood with Bay Area provenance, positioned as a counterpoint to the more studied tasting-menu restaurants across the bridge in San Francisco. Walk-in or reservation, the setting does most of the work before the food arrives.
Sausalito, United States
Show de Carnes Brazilian Steakhouse brings the rodízio tradition to Sausalito's waterfront dining scene, positioning itself against a neighborhood better known for Japanese and Italian options. The churrascaria format, continuous tableside service of wood-fired meats by roving passadores, offers a distinctly different rhythm from the small-plate and tasting-menu culture dominating the wider Bay Area dining circuit.
Sausalito, United States
Sula sits at 602 Murray Circle in Sausalito, a town where the dining scene punches well above its size given the proximity to San Francisco's talent pool and food culture.
