Fantastic, tiny, and friendly. But they don't take reservations. Put in your name and number and wait for a call at the Cask House across the street. Update: Cask House has closed. Go for a nice walk instead? Saru is worth the wait.

Get your Noe Saturday started right with a nice walk to the super-friendly local Farmers Market. Fresh produce, some food stalls for breakfast snacking, often corny live music, too. Only open from 8am to 1pm on Saturdays. (Decent coffee across the street at La Boulangerie.)
