Insalata's
Mediterranean
Lemon-yellow walls hung with paintings of overflowing produce set the mood at this Mediterranean-leaning Marin restaurant, where California ingredients meet Middle Eastern flavors in a white-tablecloth room that never feels stiff. The kitchen leans hard into mezze and grilled meats, and a takeout counter in the back stocks house-baked bread, salads, and condiments for people who planned ahead. The Michelin Guide has awarded it a Bib Gourmand.
