Restaurants Near Muir Woods: Two Eats You Can’t Miss

Two Unexpected Eats You Can't Miss at Muir Woods Cafe

Looking for the best restaurants near Muir Woods? Complete your perfect day trip at the Muir Woods National Monument by trying these two unexpected eats from the Muir Woods Cafe!

Thousands of visitors show up every day to explore the 2,000-year-old towering redwoods of Muir Woods National Monument. So if you are visiting San Francisco, a day trip to Muir Woods National Monument is a must. You can spend time connecting with nature while you hike the beautiful trails and marvel at the tall redwoods.

On our Muir Woods tours, we are often asked is there food at Muir Woods?

So if you’re wondering where to eat at Muir Woods, keep reading!

Our recommendation for the best restaurants near Muir Woods is actually in the park itself. So after you work up an appetite, you can grab lunch or dinner at the Muir Woods Trading Company Cafe, located right in the heart of the monument.

The Muir Woods Trading Company Cafe offers a selection of gourmet sandwiches, soups, salads, pastries, and beverages. It makes a great lunch option for anyone who is exploring the forest. While we love almost everything at the cafe, here are our top two must-have dishes!

Muir Woods Grilled Cheese aka The Marin Melt

Look no further for lunch near Muir Woods than the Marin Melt!

This grilled sandwich will give you a taste for why we think that The Muir Woods Cafe is one of the best restaurants near Muir Woods. The Marin Melt is easily one of the most popular Muir Woods lunch options. It was even featured on the Food Network’s, “The Best Thing I Ever Ate.”

This Muir Woods Cafe menu item is 100% local. The bread is made from the Rustic Bakery in Marin County, and the sandwich is filled with a double dose of local cheeses. The Marin Melt is made with Cowgirl Creamery’s signature brie-like cheese and award-winning Toma cheese from Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Co.

PRO TIP: There’s also a regular grilled cheese sandwich also on the menu. So be sure to order the Marin Melt to enjoy this unique Muir Woods food.

Three Twins Ice Cream

Okay. First off, how in the world do you get three twins? Wouldn’t that be triplets?

“Three Twins” refers to the twin brothers and the one brother’s wife, who is also a twin. The three started the company together, and gave it this clever name!

Why should you get pre-packaged ice cream from the best restaurant near Muir Woods? For one simple reason. Three Twins was the very first organic ice cream chain in the country! As a result, this ice cream is made with ingredients that are always minimal, organic and delicious.

A bowl of Three Twins Ice Cream is the perfect way to cool off after exploring the park!

Clearly, the Muir Woods Cafe is one of our favorite places to eat near Muir Woods. Comment below and let us know if you end up trying out the Muir Woods restaurant!

We had an absolutely incredible time on tour by Dylan Tours of San Francisco neighborhoods, Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, and Sausalito. Traveling in a small bus was the perfect way to do this—it felt incredibly personalized, and we were able to navigate the narrow roads up to Muir Woods comfortably and efficiently. Our guide, Trevor, was phenomenal. He kept us entertained during the San Francisco portion with fascinating city history, managed our time perfectly so we could fully enjoy the majestic redwoods at Muir Woods, and gave us fantastic tips on where to eat during our stop in Sausalito. He was incredibly organized, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group had a great experience. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Bay Area!

Verified Great way to see the city Excellent way to hit the highlights of San Francisco without walking everywhere. Weyland was great tour guide, giving historical info but also spontaneously addressing aspects of the city as we saw them. Highly recommended if you're just starting your trip. Or want to circle back to the key places/neighborhoods and get more context.

Verified Awesome tour experience, don’t miss it! We started out at Fishermans wharf, Jake was our guide for the day. The bus was smaller and we had about 12 people in our group, we started at the wharf and proceeded through many parts of the city, Jake was very knowledgeable and pleasant, explaining many different facts and anecdotes along the way, in addition to answering our questions. We stopped several times to take pictures, then we crossed the Golden Gate Bridge for lunch in Sausalito, don’t miss Sausalito… it’s gorgeous! After lunch we went to Muir Woods to see the giant redwoods. We thoroughly enjoyed our time, many thanks to Jake, who also has a wicked playlist of San Francisco songs timed just right, we highly recommend Dylan’s. John and Sue Marentette

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I only had one full day in San Francisco and chose the all day tour. It didn't disappoint. I got to see large portions of the city. Tour made a few stops for photos. Plenty of time for lunch and to explore in Sausalito. Enough time for relaxing and peaceful walk through Muir Woods and the redwood trees. Jake (the guide) was great and always ready to answer any questions.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was an amazing tour! I am making this review almost a month later just due to how hectic my schedule is. I took this tour as a treat to myself because I had a 16hr break in my schedule. What I didn’t know is that it was going to be Fleet Week in San Francisco, that paired with an uber dropping me off in a wrong location made for an interesting start to my day. My tour guide was amazing from start to finish. While I scrambled to find who to call for clarity on where to meet since I was now lost in a crowd of sailors & time was ticking down for departure, my Guide called me (I believe her name was Laura, forgive me it’s been several weeks) She calmed me down & got me pointed in the right direction & assured me they weren’t leaving without me. She was very accommodating on our tour & thoughtful. Hilarious & full of fun facts as well as historical knowledge about the city and the sites we visited. It’s an amazing thing to see a place through the eyes of someone who is genuinely passionate about the place they live. These places we visited, the Golden Gate Bridge, Muir Woods, etc. they were bucket list places that I’ve wanted to see since I was a child, what I didn’t expect was to feel like instead of being lead by a tour guide, I was being led by my good friend who left Pittsburgh & now lives in San Francisco & loves this place. I learned so much, got some great pictures & she made me love it too. Thank you Dylan’s Tours for a great experience. 🫶🏼

Verified Not a good tour This was a good tour with very bad transportation. The "tour bus was an airport shuttle bus.So, every time the guide spoke about something to see in front of you, you could not see it as there were no front windows to see out of, the only one who could see out front was the nus driver. This was terrible and unacceptable. I am asking for half of my money back as I only saw out of the side window. I would not recommend Dylan Tours San Francisco.

Verified Guide was informative with a good sense of humour. Trip is essentially a bus tour between 9-2 including few photo stops in the city, view point of golden gate bridge and pass by Sausalito and spend 90 mins in Muir woods. Alcaratz tour is late afternoon which is managed separately by the ferry provider. Overall tour was good but not worth almost $180

Verified The post is inaccurate the host informed me over the phone that the tour is actually 4 hours and that they spend about 15 minutes at each of the locations aside from Muir Woods where you will spend an hour. I was told over the phone that I could cancel because the listing is inaccurate but they stopped replying after. You’re better off going to these locations on your own which is what I did. save your money.

Verified Great deal and value, our guide was knowledgeable of the city and always willing to take photos. Also he was very accommodating to drop us off at the location close to where we were going after the tour, as long as he was passing it. The only thing that was annoying was waiting for people who were late. It tells you to arrive 20-15 mins before the tour but we still had to wait for 2 people and then wait for people again on each stop, not the driver’s fault, just need to be more strict with time cus it’s not fair for many of us.
