Cafe Lotus is one of our staples. We think it’s the best food in town—if you like Indian. Great for take-out, too. Sometimes we have it twice a week.

Traveler advice
Getting around
You’re better off with a car
There are buses that can take you places, including the ferry to SF, but it really is a vast area with so many great places to see, especially out in nature, that you would miss out on without a car. Uber/Lyft/Taxi isn’t really a great option out here.
