Duarte's Tavern Menu
About the Menu
Duarte’s Tavern offers a straightforward menu rooted in traditional American comfort food, designed to suit a relaxed dining experience. The menu mixes familiar, hearty dishes with fresh local seafood, reflecting the coastal setting of Pescadero. Whether you're stopping in for a casual lunch or a laid-back dinner, you’ll find options that pair well with the welcoming, rustic atmosphere.
The menu features classics like pork chops with fresh apple sauce, fried sea scallops, and New York steak alongside seafood specialties such as crab cioppino, Pacific snapper, and baked oysters. Soups play a notable role here, especially the artichoke varieties—often enjoyed alongside fresh sourdough bread—which add a warming, homestyle touch to the meal. For something lighter or a satisfying starter, raw oysters on the half shell and steamed clams are popular choices.
Drinks complement the menu’s simple charm, with options ranging from a hazy IPA on tap to traditional Irish coffee, fitting for both midday breaks and cozy evenings. The menu’s approachable style invites visitors to settle in, savor familiar flavors, and enjoy moments that feel comfortably unhurried in this longtime local spot.
