“China City in Cameron Park has the best Hot and Sour Soup; it’s full of flavor and never watery—the broth is just right.” 530-672-9888

 “The French Onion at Café C in the El Dorado Hills Town Center is filled with deliciously crunchy croutons and gruyere cheese. It’s a meal in itself and oh-so tasty.” 916-934-0734

“Heyday Café’s heavenly, sherry-infused Lobster Bisque is buttery, creamy and satisfying, with generous chunks of lobster and a garnish of fresh herbs and breadcrumbs. Ask for a few baguette slices so you can soak up every last drop.” 

 “Let me count the ways I love the Minestrone at Pizza Bene—it’s light, flavorful, and so fresh that I can pretty much taste each ingredient and call them out.”
