When you see this restaurant, housed in an Old West-style wood-and-stucco building near Pescadero’s general store, you probably will feel as though you’ve traveled back in time. Duarte’s (pronounced doo-arts) is still owned and operated by the family that built it in 1894. The fourth generation serves dishes for which Bay Area natives travel down the coast. Artichokes from the nearby fields are served steamed with garlic mayonnaise, in omelets, or in a delicious cream soup. Keeping with its down-home character and Portuguese heritage, the menu offers eggs with linguica sausage, tripe with fries and fried smelt. More traditional entrĂ©es include a huge New York steak, fish ’n’ chips, mussels marinara and deep-fried prawns. Portions are huge, but leave room for some delicious fruit pie, another long-standing family recipe.
