Welcome to Madeline’s . . .
I think one of the best ways to experience Madeline’s is to enjoy our open-daily wine tasting room where you can discover some of the finest boutique wines of the California Central Coast as well as our own line of handcrafted wines. After choosing the perfect bottle, you are welcome to join us for a homemade French/American inspired dinner menu in our candle-lit dining room. –David Chef/Owner
Seasonal dishes inspired by American & French fare are served in this intimate spot with wine shop.

Good American food is served at this cozy restaurant in Cambria. We went to Madeline’s Restaurant for dinner on Christmas Eve and really enjoyed our meal. We ordered the bruschetta and Madeline’s salad for appetizers. They were both good. For the entrees we had the NY Strip Au Poivre, the Lamb Shank and the Duck. They were all very good. And for dessert we ordered the apple crumble and raspberry key lime pies. Overall we really enjoyed our meal. The service was friendly and efficient.

Some local recommended Madelines. It is located in downtown Cambria. Lots of free parking and handicap parking. There is outdoor or indoor seating. Interior is charming with rows of wines from all over the world. Table setting had white tablecloths and napkins. Our lunch server was Melanie. She was very nice, attentive and pleasant. The lunch menu is limited. Our order took half an hour to be served which is why they recieved 3 stars. The food made up for the long wait. The duck and champignon confit appetizer was delicious. For entres we both ordered the wild mushroom tartine. His side was the acorn soup which was very delicious.

I was on the way from Hearst Castle and really lucky to visit this place which offers really outstanding food, for example an excellent octopus appetizer. Then the wine selection is really truly impressive, with special labels from Paso Robles even by the glass, and at less than $20 per glass. And they are very polite and prompt. What else can you ask for?

We came here on Christmas eve and enjoyed our meal. All of our dishes were tasty, especially the dessert! Staff was friendly and gracious. It does get quite loud when the restaurant is full and it wasn’t very conductive to a nice dinner conversation.

We whimpered. It was that good.
The mussels were small but the flavor BIG. Chef David did some lemony mustardy magic, and with an order of bread… ahhh.
Short ribs tartine, Duck Confit Salad , Blackened Halibut- sighs and more whimpers. The atmosphere was intimate but lovely, and Melanie was a pro server- informed, fun, and attentive . There was happiness.

So this week in Cambria after finding this local gem, I never go elsewhere. I come here for lunch, afternoon wine and then dinner, 3x a day for a couple days
First night: Haven’t had duck breast cooked this perfectly in a very, very long time.
Next day lunch: had pork belly burger it’s sooo crispy !!
Second night: Tonight the filet mignon was absolutely the best I’ve had in a long long time, paired with their own wine “Madeline’s cab” this meal was truly 10/10.
There’s was one last bottle left, therefore I brought it home

What a gem! This place has it all: cozy romantic ambiance, attentive and personable staff, and incredible food. We shared the venison cakes, one of their specials, and were blown away. The portions were generous too. We’ll definitely be back to try more.

After eating at some less than stellar restaurants in the Cambria area we made a reservation at Madeline’s. As soon as we walked inside we knew it was going to be different. It was beautifully decorated and crowded ( guess everyone knows this is the place to eat well), and there were mouth watering aromas. I had salmon and my husband had fillet mignon and both dishes were cooked perfectly. Service was quick and friendly. Definitely an all positive experience. Highly recommend this restaurant.

A fantastic, quaint restaurant on downtown Cambria’s Main Street. Amazing food, great wait staff, and a cozy atmosphere. We had the frog leg appetizer, stuffed chicken breast, venison sirloin, and three-layer chocolate cake. Excellent wine and port choices. And a very tolerant and friendly wait staff.
Definitely a must-visit in Cambria and a wonderful place for date night. We’ll be back!
