You don’t have to pay a lot for a million dollar view in Bodega Bay. The tiny Birds Cafe, perched above the harbor, serves only a handful of items — fish and chips, salads, clam chowder, shrimp tacos — but may be one of my new favorite places on the coast. Order at the counter, then walk up the stairs (there’s also a handy ramp) to the concrete patio for a lovely view and a picnic-style meal for under $15. Best bets: Creamy chowder, artichoke fritters and a lightly-battered fish and chips plate. Spicy tartar sauce makes this red-basket special, well, special.
Open daily from 11:30a.m. to 5p.m., 1407 Hwy 1, Bodega Bay.
Good to know. Im always kind of curious about the “good” fish and chips spots.
If you haven’t already tried the Boat House next door, on the other side of Candy and Kites, you should. The best fish and chips and you don’t have to sit outside. We have been coming here for over 20 years and have never been disappointed.
Yes! Love this place.
Great food, great ambience, and great owners – operators who have worked hard to bring something unique and special to Bodega Bay. Congratulations!
