Cafe Maddalena

Café Maddalena is an intimate French-Italian bistro nestled in the historic
mountain town of Dunsmuir, California. Rooted in European-inspired cooking
and the abundance of Northern California, the restaurant offers a warm,
welcoming dining experience where thoughtfully prepared food, genuine
hospitality, and a relaxed atmosphere come together.
Our menu changes with the seasons, allowing us to showcase fresh, locally
sourced ingredients and dishes made with care. From handmade pastas and
fresh seafood to thoughtfully composed entrées, vibrant salads, artisan
pizzas, and house-made specialties, the menu blends classic French and
Italian influences with the creativity of our kitchen. We believe great food
doesn’t need to be overly complicated it simply needs exceptional
ingredients, careful preparation, and a little soul.
Café Maddalena is the kind of place where dinner is meant to be enjoyed, not
rushed. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, visiting Dunsmuir for
the weekend, or simply sharing a bottle of wine and a beautiful meal with
friends, we want every visit to feel personal and memorable. It’s elevated
dining without the formality a little unexpected gem in the mountains of
Northern California.
