About
Robin's Restaurant, in Cambria, CA, is an *eclectic international* restaurant housed in a restored 1935 adobe home in the town's historic East Village. Founded in 1985 by Shanny and Robin Covey, it has served *farm-to-table, globally inspired cuisine* from its current Burton Drive location since 1990.
What to expect
The menu draws on Southeast Asian, Korean, Indian, Latin American, and European traditions, all built around what's fresh at the local farmers' market. Signature dishes include the *Robin's Salmon Bisque* and *Robin's Chow*, a wok-flashed noodle stir-fry with market vegetables, garlic, and ginger.
Robin's serves separate *lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch* menus, and is a member of Zero Foodprint, a nonprofit supporting regenerative farming among its local growers.
Highlights
Robin's Restaurant is best known for its *Robin's Salmon Bisque*, a rich shellfish-based soup that's been on the menu since day one, and for its three distinct dining spaces: a cozy 13-table dining room with a brick fireplace, a vine-covered atrium, and a garden with pear and cherry trees.
The restaurant has been voted *Best North Coast Restaurant* for 11 years running.
Pricing
Starters run *$7–$22* and dinner entrees run roughly *$28–$55*, with the 8oz Filet Mignon at the top of the range and Robin's Chow starting at $29.
Good to know
Robin's is *vegan- and vegetarian-friendly* even though it isn't a dedicated vegan restaurant — soups are almost always vegan, and the menu always includes at least two vegan entrees and two vegan desserts. The restaurant is also *LGBTQ+ friendly*, offers a kids' menu, and welcomes dogs in the garden.
*Reservations* are recommended, especially for Sunday brunch and the garden seating. Beer and wine only — no full bar.
