JAPANESE
At Miminashi, in
downtown Napa, Curtis
DiFede creates some of
the best Japanese food
in the Bay Area, including
yakitori, ramen, gyoza, and
soft cream for dessert.
The handsome interior
features an intricate
wood ceiling that looks
like interlocking pagodas.
Another highlight? The
cocktail Rolodex. The
bartender will bring over
the Rolodex, where each
of the 125 cards displays a
recipe for a cocktail made
on the spot.

OWNER, ANGÈLE RESTAURANT & BAR

Bettina Rouas comes from one of the most prominent families in Napa Valley's hospitality industry.
Her father, Claude Rouas, started the chic Auberge
du Soleil resort in Rutherford. She worked at many
top places around the Valley, including the French
Laundry and Bistro Don Giovanni, before opening
Angèle in 2002.
A charming French brasserie, Angèle is housed in
a historic boathouse with natural raw wood ceiling
and windows overlooking the Napa River, plus
a beautiful waterfront patio for alfresco dining.
Here, diners enjoy exceptional classics that

celebrate the simplicity and hospitality of both
French and American wine country, such as sole
meuniere made into a roulade and enhanced with
brown butter, asparagus, and potatoes; housemade pate; and escargot with garlic beurre blanc.
Naturally, one of Rouas' recommendations for
Napa Valley dining is the Restaurant at Auberge
du Soleil - but she realizes some may be hesitant
to check it out.
"People are intimidated to go there," she
explains. "They think it's really fancy, so I tell
them to sit at the bar. You don't have to dress up.
Just go and have a drink."

ITALIAN
Oenotri in Napa, where
Tyler Rodde crafts exceptional Italian food with a
clear Northern California
bent. While he features
excellent pizza, Rouas loves
the ever-changing pastas,
such as lumache with
scallops, white wine, garlic,
and Calabrian chiles. Rodde also produces an entire
menu of charcuterie. Main
courses might include
fried rabbit leg with turnip
top salsa verde.
BREAKFAST
For breakfast, Rouas
recommends Southside
Cafe, with locations in
Yountville, Carneros, and
downtown Napa. Her
favorite? Avocado toast.
There's also strawberry
toast, cornmeal pancakes,
house-made granola, and
biscuits and gravy.
