Brunch Restaurants near Ventura, CA

“Very good service & food was incredible.“

“Tucked away in the corner of a small center on Ventura Rd. and Hueneme Rd. is a secret little gem of a restaurant. The affable proprietor and chef, Yuno Balthazar, insists on offering generous portions of top quality ingredients at great prices. On our first visit for breakfast, my wife tried the chicken and homemade waffles while I had the French toast, with strawberries in a sweet cream sauce. Both our meals were delicious.

We returned a week or so later to sample his Italian-themed dinner menu. The hefty portion of chicken parmigiana served over pasta was tender and flavorful but not overly spicy or drenched in sauce. As an East-coast transplant from an Italian restaurant family, I can be picky but I was pleasantly surprised.

My wife loves a good burger so when a friend raved about Yuno’s, she insisted
we go for lunch. Served on a soft bun, with pickle, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese and the chef’s special sauce, the huge double patties of lean, top quality beef were cooked to a perfect medium rare. I had mine with a crisp house salad of lettuce, tomatoes and cucumber served with a zesty Italian pesto dressing. In addition to the wonderful food, the staff is friendly and professional. In only a few months, Yuno’s Cafe has become one of our favorite local restaurants.“

“Super delicious and a super good champagne 🍾!“
