Duarte's Tavern is a historic drinking establishment and restaurant, founded in 1894 and located at 202 Stage Road in Pescadero, California. [1]
Duarte's Tavern was founded in 1894, by Frank Duarte, a Portuguese immigrant who bought the building for approximately $12 worth of gold. [2] As of 2017, it was owned and operated by the fourth generation of the Duarte family. [3]
They are well known for their olallieberry pie, artichoke soup (which is also served as half artichoke and half green chile soup) and cioppino, a signature item that was described as "bone-warming" but "very messy". [4] [5] The cuisine includes seafood such as fried oysters with fries, snapper, and a crab sandwich which, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's Michael Bauer, had "a lot of thought put into it" with the inside of the sourdough bread toasted enough to hold a "pile of crab" and a "leaf of lettuce". [6] The menu also includes non-seafood items such as a hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. [6]
In 2017, Dana Joseph, writing for the Cowboys & Indians magazine, called the cioppino at Duarte's Tavern a "flavorful crab-crammed delight". [7]
On October 22, 2007, Duarte's Tavern was featured on the fourth episode of the second season of the television show, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives entitled "Local Flavors". [8] In 2003, Duarte's Tavern received the James Beard American Classic Award. [2]
