"The girl and the fig" for Sunday Brunch


Good wine and good food lately became my first philosophy, a lovely code to live by :)

Nestled in the historical center of Sonoma (in the Sonoma Hotel and just a block away from the Barracks with their famous copy of Bear Flag), "The girl and the fig" restaurant is a favorite of both locals and tourists. The restaurant is known for its passion for French food and a wine cellar full of local wines.
I chose the restaurant for our Easter Brunch almost accidentally, and I was not disappointed. The entire place projects welcome and country-easy comfort. Julie Higgins is a resident artist and her colorful paintings add extravagant beauty to the place, and even special flavor to the dishes.       

The brunch menu is impressive in its variety and a strong French accent :) I ordered and enjoyed soup and house-cured salmon, my husband decided on mussels, frites and eggs benedict. Everything was delicious.
Here are a few pictures of Sonoma from the day -
