Best Restaurants for a Quick Bite in Carmichael

Octopus Baja’s food is fresh, and has a solid amount of flavor. The food also came out incredibly quickly, despite it being almost completely full. Servers were attentive, cocktails were delicious & had the perfect balance of “I want to feel the alcohol/get my money’s worth” and “I don’t want my drink to taste like a shot.” Fun decor. Definitely lively and loud at points but you’re going to a chic location in the downtown of a large city: If you expect it to be quiet, it’s your fault. Prices are about typical for good food in a downtown, on par with OBO and Kru, etc.. will definitely be returning.

Delicious food, impressive covered outdoor area that’s well-insulated and thoughtfully designed (it feels like you’re inside the restaurant and we preferred it over the actual indoor area), and friendly and knowledgeable service! Portions are small and prices are high, but it was great quality and worthwhile overall. Highly recommend for a special occasion or date night!

This was our first time dining at Brasserie du Monde and they did not disappoint. We shared a wide array of appetizers and salads as well as some of the specialty drinks. Everything was outstanding including the service. We will definitely make it there again.

We’ve always enjoyed our brunches at the Capitol Garage.
