Mendocino Coast Restaurants

Dining at Trillium

Our focus in the restaurant is serving amazingly beautiful locally-grown food, with friendly service. Our style is modern California cuisine, kept as close to farm-to-table as possible. 

We use many locally-sourced, organic ingredients, with an ever-changing, seasonal menu.

Our restaurant is beautiful and cozy, with a fire place and ocean views, located right in the middle of Mendocino village. When the weather permits, we have our outside deck open, which has ocean views of Big River Bay, and our beautiful culinary flower garden. Trillium Cafe & Inn is close to all the local shopping and Main Street and we are just a short walk to the beach and the Mendocino Headlands State Park.
