General Info

Rancho Valencia Restaurant, recipient of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and named 'One of the Top 100 Hotel Restaurants' by Zagat Survey, is a wonderfully romantic and elegant dining experience in Rancho Santa Fe. Sitting just off a mission-style courtyard, the restaurant exudes a sophisticated French country charm with its white-washed, open-beamed ceilings, yet maintains a California breeziness. Its kitchen brims with veteran and internationally schooled chefs who artfully prepare locally grown produce and meats for an exquisite dining experience. An extensive wine list is available with more than 500 selections, primarily from California and France, but with additional offerings from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Spain and Italy. Enjoy stunning views of the Rancho Santa Fe valley, which many have said is reminiscent of the rolling hills of Southern France. The restaurant features elegant indoor dining and alfresco dining on the patio a perfect perch for watching the hot air balloons overhead. Expansive windows line the restaurant allowing for magnificent sunsets to serve as backdrops for early evening dining in a scenic and elegant setting.
