Best Sausalito Biking Restaurants 2022

Here’s how we factored the best restaurants that we included in this list for Sausalito bike riders:

  • Outdoor seating is an option (“Duh!”)
  • Casual atmosphere
  • Staffed by people who welcome riders
  • Good food
  • Located on or near the (only) main route through town, Bridgeway.
  • Bonus points: Great views!

Important note: We limited ourselves to an average of about two restaurants per Sausalito neighborhood in smaller geographical areas for this Sausalito Biking Restaurants list, and up to four each in the larger ones. We also tried to mix delis and restaurants and cafes from different cuisines and price points. This list could easily be twice as long and consist of excellent recommendations. Don’t hesitate to improvise and go somewhere else if you see a place on your ride that looks good.

 

Sausalito Biking Restaurants

We have ordered these listings starting with the places that are closest to the Golden Gate Bridge for those riding from San Francisco, and ending with those that are closest to the Mill Valley – Sausalito Multi-Use Path. Please start at the bottom and scroll up if you’re coming from the north.

Aurora — (Old Town) The first restaurant you come to inside the town of Sausalito after crossing the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco and crossing Fort Baker in the GGNRA. It’ss also a welcoming, friendly spot with good pizza and Italian food.

Golden Gate Market Deli — (Old Town)  One of the best deli’s in town is also the first deli you come to when riding through Sausalito from San Francisco, with high quality sandwiches made by very friendly people. Benches with great Bay and City views are just a short distance away. It’s a great Sausalito biking restaurant… er, deli!

The Trident — (Bridgeway Promenade) An icon of Rock history with its late 60’s artwork and fixtures largely intact, this place was the scene of a Bill Graham Party for the Rolling Stones, and Janis Joplin had a favorite table where she’d come to drink each afternoon. Robin Williams was one of the busboys. They also have good food and a balcony over the Bay with killer views of the City.

Venice Gourmet Deli — (Bridgeway Promenade) The second great deli on your ride north, with a handful of sidewalk tables with great views.

Napa Valley Burger Co. — (Downtown Sausalito & Ferry Pier)  A wide variety of good burgers and a fun spot to take a break on your ride.

Lappert’s Ice Cream — (Downtown Sausalito & Ferry Pier)  Ice cream is an important food group in my opinion, and Lappert’s is famous for flavor. After all, it’s critical for a Sausalito biking restaurant to supply calories to power you through your ride!

Poggio — (Downtown Sausalito & Ferry Pier)  This is an award-winning Italian restaurant that welcomes bike riders and has a large sidewalk seating area that makes you feel like you’re dining in Europe.

Firehouse Coffee and Tea — (Caledonia St. / New Town)   Next to the firehouse (of course) in the block between downtown and the Caledonia St. neighborhood. Good coffee, tea and snacks, really nice people, and the surprise of reasonable prices compared to many venues. They have a great back patio.

Equator Coffee — (Caledonia St. / New Town)  One of the most popular Sausalito biking restaurants, with a large patio where you can park your bike near your table and easily keep an eye on it.

Sandrino — (Caledonia St. / New Town)  A tiny Italian place run by a couple who moved here from Italy and brought their family recipes (both pizza and other dishes) to share with us. They’ve quickly earned a spot in locals’ hearts. Also has a small sidewalk seating area.

Sushi Ran — (Caledonia St. / New Town)  One of the most highly-rated sushi restaurants in California, and one that also welcomes bike riders.

Driver’s Market Deli — (Caledonia St. / New Town)  Driver’s is a locally owned organic and sustainable foods market, and their sandwiches are sought after by many residents. The servings here are not as big as at some other deli’s, and if high quality and a smaller portion are your goal this is a great choice.

Lighthouse Cafe — (Caledonia St. / New Town)  An authentic Danish diner (you can order in Danish or Swedish) with great breakfast and lunch offerings. A favorite Sausalito biking restaurant in part because you can park your bike next to their front patio and it will be near your table and easy to watch.

Fred’s Coffee Shop — (Spring Valley & Marinship)  If you come through in the morning the French Toast is famous.

Fish — (Spring Valley & Marinship)  Combine the informality of a walk-up diner and the seafood menu of a top-line San Francisco restaurant and you have the unique place that is Fish. Cash only and not cheap, but they can tell you when and where the fish in your lunch or dinner was caught and how they know it was sustainably harvested.

Anchorage 5 —  (Nevada Valley & Marinship)  Anchorage 5 is a local legend and serves both American and Mexican comfort food. A favorite of the artist and floating home community.

Avatar’s — (Nevada Valley & Marinship)  A cross between Indian and Latin cuisine, and if that mix sounds tempting then this is your place.

Kitti’s Place — (Nevada Valley & Marinship)  A local Thai favorite tucked away in northern Sausalito, they have both inside and patio dining, along with great food.

Bayside Cafe — (Floating Homes)  Great little diner right next to the Sausalito end of the Mill Valley – Sausalito Multi-Use Path.

Davey Jones Deli — (Floating Homes)   One of Sausalito’s best deli’s is also right next to the northern end of the Mill Valley – Sausalito Multi-Use Path.

Note: This list of the best Sausalito biking restaurants  is arranged south to north for those riding over the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. If you’re heading south to Sausalito from Mill Valley then Bayside Cafe and Davey Jones Deli will be the first two great stopping points you reach.
