The Top 2 Restaurants in Bodega Bay
-
Rank 1. Spud Point Crab Co
Old-School Seafood
A no-frills crab shack on the Bodega Bay waterfront where fishermen's families and road-trippers in windbreakers queue up for the kind of seafood that was swimming that morning. Grab a crab sandwich or a cup of clam chowder, find a cliff overlooking the bay, and eat while the wind ruins your hair. It's a perfect argument for skipping the fancy seafood restaurant entirely and just going straight to the source.

Rank 2. Terrapin Creek
Californian
A cozy neighborhood restaurant in Bodega Bay where the locals actually want you to stay. Ochre walls, a fireplace, bold art on the walls, and a short menu of California cooking that changes with what's fresh and swimming nearby. The crowd is a relaxed mix of regulars and weekend visitors who drove up the coast and got lucky finding a reservation. Go for the housemade pasta and whatever the ocean dropped off that week.
