Food Scene
Lots of restaurants abound in Downtown Pleasanton. For breakfast, try Nonni's or Rising Loafer on Main Street. For lunch and dinner, we like Rising Loafer, Nonni's, Tri-Valley Bistro, Baci, Alberto's Mexican Cantina, and Oasis. For a special occasion or an important business dinner, Hap's Steak and Seafood Restaurant is great. Main Street is also home to many shops, galleries, and gourmet food/chocolate stores as well as the outdoor Farmer's Market every Saturday from 9am to Noon.
