Playa

必比登$$Mexican, Contemporary

The foggy beaches of Marin County may be a far cry from the sand and surf of Baja, but this lively spot keeps the vacation vibe alive with margaritas, mezcal and madly delicious Mexican cooking. And while Playa feels upmarket with its colorful tiles, blown-glass lights and walls of windows, its food is wonderfully authentic. The menu makes for tough choices: opt for the outstanding al pastor tacos layered with sweet-spicy caramelized pineapple salsa, or the crispy empanadas stuffed with chorizo, currants and green olives, drizzled with chimichurri. Whether you choose a cocktail and a mushroom-

Pig in a Pickle

必比登$$Barbecue

Don’t be fooled by its suburban location, as this is some of the best barbecue in the Bay Area. Chef/owner Damon Stainbrook takes his sourcing seriously, as evidenced by the chalkboard outlining where each humanely raised, hormone-free cut of meat arrives from. The counter service is warm, casual and friendly; while rustic wood tables filled with regional, homemade hot sauces dot the rest of the room.There’s really no wrong way to go on their mouthwatering menu. Imagine the likes of melt-in-your-mouth pulled pork; 18-hour smoked brisket; perfectly moist, dry-rubbed ribs; or juicy hotlinks burs

Sushi Ran

Sushi Ran remains a long-standing Sausalito favorite, appreciated for its calm, inviting atmosphere and steady selection of fresh fish.

Burmatown

$$Burmese

Head straight for the authentic Burmese dishes at this out-of-the-way spot. A nutty, crunchy and flavorful tea leaf salad with cabbage, dried shrimp, peanuts and fish sauce is the perfect answer to a hot summer day, while hearty spiced potato-stuffed samosas and fresh, springy egg noodles tossed with barbecue pork and fried garlic chips will warm your soul in the cooler months. Given the high quality of its food, it’s no surprise that Burmatown is Corte Madera’s most popular neighbor: it’s big with local families from the surrounding residences who pack every single table, attended to by warm

Picco

$$$Contemporary

Picco is Italian for “summit,” and this charming Larkspur hilltop home has long been a beacon among Marin County diners. Chef/owner Bruce Hill is a true local-food devotee: his Italian-influenced fare heaps on Marin ingredients like the fresh turnips that dot his silky-smooth duck tortelli, or the Meyer lemon yogurt and beets that sit atop a nourishing kale salad. The “Marin Mondays” menu is a particular steal.The precise staff moves ably through the busy dining room, carrying bowls of creamy risotto made on the half-hour. With a high ceiling and exposed brick walls, the vibe is graceful but n

Guesthouse

$$$Contemporary

After a decade cooking at Larkspur’s beloved Picco, Chef Jared Rogers has grown well-attuned to the tastes of the polished Marin crowd. His Kentfield eatery is a neighborhood gem, but for residents with million-dollar homes. The menu is appropriately packed with dressed-up crowd-pleasers—from grilled king salmon with chimichurri and summery succotash to decadent flourless chocolate cake piled with chocolate ice cream.Donning soft leather booths, eye-catching wallpaper and a tiled central bar, the room has the feel of a cavernous old barn transformed into a luxe vacation hideaway.
