Dining

The Town of Los Gatos and Saratoga Village are famous for their restaurants. They offer some of the best dining options available in the Silicon Valley and San Jose areas. The streets are lined with restaurants. Between the two towns, you'll find three Michelin-starred restaurants and a score of other fine dining establishments. You can also choose from dozens of other options: Middle Eastern and Asian restaurants, European-style bistros, and all-American cafes offer diners a wide selection of choices and price points. Great options exist for breakfast, lunch, dinner and picnics in the mountains. Most restaurants offer local Santa Cruz Mountains Appellation wine and many feature winemaker dinners. There's no need to go anywhere else in the San Francisco Bay Area - everything you could possibly want is right here.
