A week in Mendocino

Mendocino Headland
Originally uploaded by jmoule.

Katherine took a 5 day long painting workshop at the art center in Mendocino this June. That gave us another chance to check out the restaurant scene in the evening and for me to take photographs during the day. This is the headland (promontory) upon which Mendocino is located as seen from Russian Gulch State Park, some miles to the north.

As for the restaurant scene, Cafe Beaujolais still has the best food in the area by a hair. However the ambiance is poor and the service less than exciting. Everything considered, Albion River Inn is a much better choice. It has a good ocean view, a pleasant all round ambiance, and good service.

Moose Cafe continues to impress us as a simple but gastronomically sophisticated place for lunch.
