Of course Napa Valley locals know all the best places to eat in the area. Places that are more low-key, comfortable, and affordable. Here are some of the best places that locals eat at:

• Angele - 540 Main (at Fifth St.) Street Napa, California - www.angelerestaurant.com

"We are a French country restaurant and bar offering refined bistro fare, wine and cocktails on the Napa riverfront in the heart of downtown Napa. Our dining room, located in the historic 1890's ship chandlery now known as the Hatt Building, evokes the simple romance of the classic French brasserie, while our riverfront patio celebrates the region's temperate climate and relaxed atmosphere."

• Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch - 738 Main Street St. Helena, California - www.longmeadowranch.com/eat-drink/restaurant

"At our restaurant, our connection to rugged mountain terrain, mineral-rich riverbed benchland, and the cool coastal air is tangible through the dishes and ambiance carefully curated by the Halls and our artisans. The talents of chefs, farmers, cattle ranchers, winemakers, and restaurant managers create a Napa Valley experience like no other."

• La Luna Market & Taqueria - 1153 Rutherford Rd, Rutherford, California - www.lalunamarket.com

Featuring a menu full of burritos, tacos, quesadillas, and other delicious items, this spicy restaurant is the perfect place to grab a quick bite to eat! Sit outside and look at the beautiful vineyards in the area while having an affordable lunch.

• Goose and Gander - 1245 Spring St, St Helena, California - www.goosegander.com

"Goose & Gander is a wine country public house- a gathering place for locals and visitors to celebrate Napa Valley’s abundant bounty (or embarrassment of riches). Chef Nic Jones creates amazing rustic American food and mouthwatering bar bites served in our pub-like dining room, cherished basement bar or lush patio. The seasonally  driven menu perfectly complements Scott Beattie’s retro-fresh libations or a bottle of  wine from our unique and exciting wine list."
