the girl & the fig in Sonoma

the girl & the fig is Sondra Bernstein's French country bistro on the Sonoma Plaza; Bernstein, formerly director of operations at Viansa, first opened it in Glen Ellen before moving to the Plaza. It describes its food as country food with a French passion.

The menu changes with the seasons and includes cheese and charcuterie platters, steak tartare, a fig and arugula salad, duck confit and flounder meuniere. The award-winning wine list leans toward Rhone varieties, alongside French aperitifs and cocktails.

A Plaza classic for lunch between Sonoma Valley tastings or a relaxed dinner. The Rhone-heavy list is a nice change after a day of Cabernet and Pinot. We drop you at the corner of Spain Street and First Street West.
