One of my three favorites in Sonoma. As an appetizer I ordered grilled octopus which was very good. My main meal I chose Pork & Clams - Porco À Alentejana which is a Portuguese dish of a pork and clam stew, it was delicious. Service was extremely good, we ate outdoors which was very nice, atmosphere is very good, very quiet and the set up is very nice.

If you are in Sonoma and looking for something special and not the usual kind of foods, I highly recommend La Salette which serves modern takes on Portuguese dishes. We ordered the Cod Cakes for our appetizer, it was delicious! For our lunch entrees, we ordered the Spicy Piri Piri Chicken Salad and the Arroz a Valenciana dishes and both were amazing, and yes, I ate that beautiful flower on top! The service was outstanding, the ambiance was superb and the experience was memorable.

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner. The meal was delicious and the wait staff was excellent. I had the Portuguese Pot Roast and my wife had the Seafood Stew. We also indulged in dessert with a delicious Port. Very satisfied and would definitely recommend.

I came here by myself on a Tuesday afternoon and the service was absolutely phenomenal. The staff is so knowledgeable and lovely. I would recommend the fish and chip as it was lightly fried and savory.

Absolutely loved this restaurant. They gave a glass of sparkling rose for our anniversary. They refreshed one of our white wines on the sampler when my husband accidentally dropped some food in it. The heirloom tomato salad was delicious. The Portuguese “pot roast” was amazing. All of the desserts are sample style so you get 3 in one. Service was excellent. Highly recommend. Only drawback is they don’t have their own bathrooms.

We wanted to get out of SF to enjoy some nicer weather and found ourselves enjoying a beautiful day in Sonoma. After checking out the restaurants around the main square, we decided to try La Salette, as its Portuguese menu stood out with its unique offerings and tasty options. Shortly after ordering, we were provided with a free amuse bouche from the chef, shrimp croquettes with a slightly tangy sauce and salsa brava. The shrimp croquettes were crispy, yet also light and zesty; a beautiful start to the meal. I also ordered a caipirinha, my go-to cocktail when I lived in Brazil. La Salette's caipirinha was extremely delicious, with a healthy dose of lime and mint that washed down nicely with the cachaça. For starters, we began with the grilled octopus and tomato salad. The grilled octopus was cooked perfectly and paired nicely with the red wine vinegar, fingerling potatoes, and pickled seaweed. The heirloom tomato salad was absolutely fantastic, as the tomatoes were perfectly ripe and were complemented nicely with the chickpea puree and feta cheese. This was my favorite bite of the night. For entrees, we tried the bacalhau no forno, the caldeirada, and the açorda de Trigo. My mom loved the bacalhau no forno, which was a bit lighter than she was expecting but had a great punch of flavor between the salted cod, potatoes, onions and olives. My dad and I also really enjoyed the caldeirada, which had a generous portion of sea bass, scallops, clams, mussels, potatoes, shrimp, and linguiça in a flavorful broth. This reminded me a little bit of cioppino given the copious amount of seafood, although it had more of a velvety tasting broth without the flavor of tomatoes. Finally, my partner really enjoyed the açorda de Trigo, which had a perfectly poached egg that created a velvety sauce over the farro, mushrooms, and pine nuts. For dessert, we all split the fruit plate, which was the highlight of the meal. We really loved how the dessert was more of an assortment of tasty dishes that complemented each other nicely, rather than one single dish. All of the components of the dessert were fantastic: the poached pear had a nice spiced taste, the macerated mango was super sweet and tangy, and the pineapple semifreddo was velvety and tangy. But, the passion fruit cannoli was truly unreal. The tang of the passion fruit and light crisp of the cannoli shell were incredible. Would highly recommend trying this or their other desserts, as they all looked incredible. All in all, given the fantastic restaurants in Sonoma, La Salette is a great choice if you're looking for something unique that highlights local fruit and produce, as well as meat and seafood options. We would definitely come back here the next time we're in Sonoma! EDIT: Forgot to mention that the service was incredible and very attentive. Everyone was super nice, friendly and helpful, and made sure every part of our meal was enjoyable and to our liking. Thank you!
