Savories

Their sign says Casual Dining, but all that means is you don't have to dress up for this great fine dining establishment.

Sal's Mexican Restaurant

Well know to all the locals and fondly referred to simply as Sal's.Bigger than it looks from the street, plus their is outdoor seating in summer. Popular for casual business meetings - breakfast too.

Red Fox Restaurant

Now actually two restaurants in one. First there is the breakfast restaurant servng a great variety of American traditional dishes. Then the new management take over for lunch and dinner.

Happy Burger Diner

Very popular with the tourists and very early morning people, despite their complicated and noisy ordering system. A big landmark because of their large signs and advertising before you even get to town.

The Cafe at the Bug

aka The Bug Cafe or Yosemite Bug Cafe

You don't have to drive far for a great value, home grown, home cooked organic meal. Just visit the Cafe at the Yosemite Bug Cabins and Hostel in El Portal. As long as you like the casual atmosphere and partly self-serve, you will like the food, and probably meet some international back packers too.

The menu is short.. but different and excellent and affordable every night. See their own great website which includes pictures of their own garden.

Dazzle Donuts

For a good cup of coffee and a jolt of sugar (for the not yet diabetics among you), see Dazzel Donuts, just down from Sal's Mexican restaurant.

The very popular Pop's Cafe next to the Shell Gas station in Woodland, off Hiway 49 on the way to Oakhurst. Not just Pop, but Mom and baby and junior are there for long hours everyday.

Voted by many the best breakfast in Mariposa. Certainly the biggest selection of omelettes ever.

Facing the mining museum sits this tiny little sandwhich show - another old faithful post office.

In the same shopping center as True Value Hardware and the 49er Supermarket, there exists High Country Health Food store and its associated Cafe. Apparently popular with vegetarians and real health foodies. Only open a few hours a day/week.
