Quaint establishment with good food. Pescadero is a darling small town. Olallieberry Pie and salad dressing are both amazing!
The Artichoke soup was surprisingly delicious. Burgers and other sandwiches were good as well. Can't wait to come back to try the Crab/Seafood Cioppino
I learned about this place on Diners, Drive-ins & Dives. It was the first time I saw Guy Fieri eat an entire serving of something. It was their artichoke soup made from the artichokes they grow.

Duarte's Tavern is a historic roadhouse located near highway 1 on the peninsula, dating back to the 1890s. The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere that feels like stepping back in time, reminiscent of California decades ago. It is a must-try for its famous Artichoke and Green Chili soup, which can also be enjoyed as a delicious half-and-half blend, bringing a spicy smooth mix that many find enjoyable. The fresh, warm sourdough bread pairs perfectly with the soup. While some dishes like the French dip may be standard, the Fish and Chips are above average, and the seafood chowder is tasty, though portions can be small. The restaurant has ample parking and friendly staff, making it a nice spot to visit for a taste of history. Many visitors enjoy the old bar, which adds to the unique classic atmosphere, and appreciate the feeling of dining in a grandma's kitchen, with aromas that come from years of cooking. The cocktails are fantastic, and the Bloody Mary is noted as the best by some guests. Duarte's Tavern is a special treat for those visiting the coast, and many hope it remains for years to come.
