Darling patio, perfect in the summer... always delicious! Marché aux Fleurs’ menu is informed by the French and Italian tradition of highlighting local ingredients in a simple yet masterful way. Each Thursday and Sunday, Dan and Holly make a trip to the San Rafael Civic Center Farmer’s Market where they pick up what’s fresh, seasonal, and local from their longtime friends and vendors. The cuisine is a mix of European and Californian influences with a heavy focus on seasonality and quality of ingredients above all else. Marché aux Fleurs also boasts an extensive wine list, filled with boutique and small-batch wines chosen specifically to complement the dishes.

Delicious local favorite... Italian American cuisine. Cozy and comfortable, tried and true. They recently opened a very cool bar which is hopping in the evenings pretty much all week long! OUR STORY Neighborhood…is it the people that define it? Or maybe the gathering places within it? How comfortable you feel there…However you describe it, we are blessed to be a part of this great neighborhood of San Anselmo. Cucina has a long history here. Since 1998 in fact. But today we are a reinvented version of your old neighborhood favorite. The redefined Cucina SA is a warm, cozy, delicious way to spend a few hours with family and friends. The Full Bar always has the local game on serving wine, beer, and specialty cocktails, the wood fired pizza oven is stoked each evening and the friendly staff is as inviting as our little town. The southern Italian dishes are thoughtful and specials always surprise. Whether you live up the street or are coming in from the city you’ll enjoy the efforts to serve and hopefully delight you. Plenty of smiles here. The owner, Donna welcomes you back or invites you in for a visit. We are always here, hope you will be soon!

Grocery

This grocery store, located in Kentfield, is a lovely 'shopping experience'... definitely more specific high end offerings. You can find all of your grocery needs here, but the reason to shop here would be their fantastic deli for takeaway meals, sandwiches and salads; super cute bakery and coffee shop in the store!
