With twenty-five amazing restaurants, you can’t go wrong. However, there are a few places we think you won’t want to miss.

Richard's: if you missed Richard's during Local Bites, just know that there's been talk that it rivals those fancy chain restaurants everyone loves for their steaks. Make the drive to Belmont and give it a try.

Limón: they've moved to a new location in the last year (with rent known to drive several restaurants out in the past), so go support one of the more unique flavors offered in Fresno.

And make sure to make your reservation to Trelio—the sooner the better. For only $36, pick three courses off of their regular menu. If you’ve never been, you’re in for a decadent meal you won’t forget: Chandler strawberries and shaved fennel salad, grilled central valley brown turkey and black mission figs, and angus beef filet mignon…just to name a few. The menu changes daily, but whenever you go you will not leave disappointed.

Happy eating!
