"Opened in 1894 by Frank Duarte, an immigrant from the Azores, Duarte's Tavern is a casual, old-fashioned seafood eatery of knotty-pine-paneled rooms. A steadfast beacon utterly unmoved by trends, winner of the 2003 James Beard Award for America's Classics, it’s famous for artichoke soup, green chile soup, cioppino, and olalliberry pie. They serve a crab melt sandwich, petrale sole sandwich, and an olalliberry Margarita. Called Guy Fieri's favorite restaurant in California, Duarte’s also serves cioppino, a seafood stew packed with Dungeness crab, shrimp, and clams in a cumin-accented tomato sauce bathed in white wine. Owner Timothy Duarte, Frank’s great-grandson, says Portuguese touches include the cumin in the cioppino, linguica at Sunday breakfast, and the mussels style." - Sharon McDonnell
