Sacramento Restaurants & Drinks

Welcome to America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital—where fresh, locally sourced flavors are always on the menu. Sacramento’s restaurant and drink scene is as diverse as it is delicious, offering everything from award-winning fine dining and global cuisine to casual bites, craft breweries, and cocktail bars.

Sacramento’s restaurants proudly source ingredients from nearby farms and purveyors. But it’s not just fine dining that focuses on freshness—mom-and-pop lunch spots, neighborhood cocktail bars, and hidden gems across the city serve up dishes and drinks made with in-season, locally grown ingredients all year long.

It’s no wonder so many Sacramento restaurants have earned Michelin star or James Beard recognition, and why the city’s culinary scene continues to receive national acclaim from outlets like The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Eater, and more. So come hungry, come as you are, and get ready to discover why Sacramento is America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital.
