Today, Alamedans are blessed with more than a few top-notch restaurants to please their palates, including Pappo, C’era Una Volta, Asena, Angela’s, Ching Hua, Angel Fish and Dragon Rouge, to name a few.

It’s not as if Alameda needs more charm. But from its self-effacing name to its cozy parlor-like interior, the Little House Cafe infuses a healthy new quotient of enchantment.

The third time may be the charm for BarCeluna, in terms of making a go of it in the Park Street business district.
