Our Bistro49 Family
Like our famous recipes, the Bistro49 family is a mix of cultural flavors with a great origin story.
We are proud to be an African American-owned restaurant. We're also white, Latina, female, and veteran-owned. Very few restaurants can stake that claim.
Our small, local bistro is owned and operated by three different families with diverse backgrounds and a shared passion for excellent food and service. Just like the '49ers during the California gold rush, each of us traveled a long and winding journey to strike culinary gold here in Sutter Creek, California.
Our two creative and highly-talented chefs have more than 50 years of combined culinary pedigrees, from greasy fast food joints to the kitchens of five-star restaurants on the Las Vegas strip. Our Sommelier is a 22-year high school English teacher with a love of wine, fine champagne and Shakespeare. Our host is a retired 30-year law enforcement officer with a love for serving people, and a technology and graphic design background. Our children have been hosts, servers, bussers, food runners and dishwashers. We all love and rescue animals, and encourage guests to bring their fur babies when they dine in our outdoor courtyard. We even created a delicious doggy menu and always have a big bowl of fresh, clean water available for our canine guests.
Dine with us on your next visit to Sutter Creek. Be warned - once you're here, you're our family, too.
