Beignets Catfish Poboys Shrimp n grits These are the must-haves. Chicory coffee isn't strong enough for me but some ppl love it.

The Parish Cafe is a great spot in Healdsburg for a taste of New Orleans complete with delicious beignets, cafe au let, Po Boys, Jambalaya and the like. I'm in no way the authority on the incredible food of Louisiana, but I can say here that the food is flavorful, the portions are large, and the outdoor space is very nice. The prices are a bit high which keeps us from coming as often as we'd like, but we definitely always enjoy our meals here (including the time I brought my visiting sisters!)

Great service and amazing food. Th Seafood platter is a great choice for first time visitors. Regular size Po Boys are a great deal, very filling

Beignets were to take a bag HOME! 5 stars! Shrimp & grits was my go to 5/5 Fun soju Bloody Mary 4/5 Friendly Informative waitress Pricing fair Free Clean bathroom Best to make reservations Seating area was cute!

The Parish is only open for breakfast and lunch with occasional special dinners. It had been in my list to try in Healdsburg for a few years, but walkins are tough with a long wait. We booked a 1:30 Sunday brunch in December and really enjoyed it. We opted to sit outside and while it wasn't cold, there's not much of a view on the back porch in winter. Looks like they have picnic tables near the street in warmer weather, I started with a Bloody Mary which was spicy but not too boozy. Husband had a mimosa which he enjoyed. Both $12 each. I had the shrimp and grits which were delicious ($20). The grits were buttery and light, creole tomato sauce was spicy but not overpowering, and got about 6 good sized gulf shrimp with Cajun spices. I added a poached egg for $2 which wasn't necessary. Yum! Husband had the Houma Hash which was more like a scramble with spinach, potatos, bell peppers, sunny side up egg, and andouille sausage ($17). He liked it and it was filling, but would probably order something different next time. Finished with the beignets which were served 3 to a plate with nice powdered sugared ($8). Just as good as New Orleans! Service was friendly but they were closing up around 2:30 so we couldn't linger too long. We will definitely be back.

Went on a whim to The Parish Cafe while on a Girls Getaway. What brought us there was the inviting view it had from the street. What is really the front is the back of this charming restaurant. We were seated right away. Our server, Mario, was wonderful and personable. What we ordered: The Beignets were "lightly fried" and dusted in powdered sugar. 10/10 I'd eat them again! The Bananas Foster Pain Perdu had just the right amount of sweetness. The coffee was smooth-- a characteristic of freshly roasted beans. Delicious! Can't wait for another Girls Getaway to visit this gem again!

What an amazing soul food breakfast. The restaurant is so cute inside and out. My girlfriends and I stopped on our way back to Sacramento and I am so happy we did. The service was great and the food was delicious. We got the parish plate and crawfish and sausage omelette with the beignets and it was all good.

I love going someplace I haven't visited before and finding a gem like this! I was in Healdsburg to play Sax with a new band that I just started working with occasionally and this place was in the same "parking lot" as the club I was gigging at, so it was a natural to drop in on Saturday afternoon around lunch. It's in an old house converted into a restaurant and the place was packed! Charming atmosphere, servers and kitchen staff bustling around at their jobs, people enjoying a great time and great food...it was well worth the 1/2 hour wait to get in. Almost the entire band joined us, along with their significant others...we were seated at a classic wooden picnic table on the back patio shaded by a large umbrella. Our server, Malisa, greeted us as soon as we sat down and got us drinks right away. She was a stellar waitperson...super sweet and on top of anything that we needed without being overbearing. Just FYI...I've spent a LOT of time in N'Awlins and around the bayou. I'm very familiar with this style of food. What a welcome treat to see Abita Amber Lager ($5) (12 oz) on the drink menu...classic Louisiana beer...super refreshing! Of course, that was my choice. A large 1 Liter carafe of Bloody Mary's ($45) were also ordered (also available for $12 for an 8 oz glass)...I'm not a tomato juice fan, so I didn't partake, but those that did raved about them. Had to start with their Beignets ($8) [Lightly fried French Pastry topped with powdered sugar, 3 per order] WOW!! It had been quite a while since I've had REAL Beignets and these were as authentic as it gets! Pillowy, soft, with the right texture and covered with a generous dusting of powdered sugar that left a sugar mustache on your lips with every bite. Followed that with Fried Pickles ($6) A nice sized dish/bowl filled with flavorful bites...crispy texture, just the right amount of batter as to not overwhelm the thin rounds of delicious pickles, with an out of this world, authentic remoulade sauce for dipping. Tried a slice of their Fried Green Tomatoes ($8) that the keyboard player ordered. 6 large slices...again, crispy texture, just the right amount of batter as to not overwhelm the delicious, tart tomatoes, also accompanied by that out of this world, authentic remoulade sauce for dipping. SO many tempting choices for my main course...I would've been happy with any of them...but, I decided to go with one of my benchmark dishes for any Cajun/Creole place I visit: Gumbo ($8 for a cup/$15 for a bowl) [Chicken, Andouille, Okra] I ordered the bowl... Again...WOW!! You could tell that it was made with an authentic, hand made roux...there's no faking that texture. The proteins and vegetables were cooked perfectly...succulent chicken, snappy andouille...and the okra was treated the way it's supposed to be...just the tiniest bit of the inherent viscosity that makes it such a taste treat. Accompanied by a generous serving of rice heaped in a straight line down the middle of the bowl and a crispy piece of toasted French bread on the side... I couldn't have been happier! I also got to enjoy half of my dining companion's order! Their Saturday special: Smoked Brisket Po'Boy ($20) [The New Orleans classic on our custom French Bread from Costeaux Bakery] [All Po'Boys come dressed: mayonnaise, shredded lettuce, tomato and pickle] What a behemoth of a sandwich...that's why I wound up with half of it! Super tender meat, with just the right amount of smoke on it and seasoned just right...I said it before and I'll say it again...it doesn't get more authentic than this! Next time I get to this area, I'm trying more of their menu offerings...I gotta get to their Jambalya...and Muffaletta...and Red Beans and Rice...and Shrimp and Grits...and Fried Oysters...and Hush Puppies...and Fried Shrimp...and Blackened or Fried Catfish...and they even have Zapp's Kettle Chips and...and...and...LOL... Take the time to try this place next time you're in this area...you'll be as content and impressed as I was...

So fun to be able to eat food from New Orleans! When I visit a new town aí always seek out a cuisine I can't easily get back home and this place was an obvious choice. We came for a late breakfast/early lunch. Restaurant is in an old house with some character. Staff was friendly. The beignets were a must and they were piping hot. The chicory coffee was good but the latte was too much milk - drank some and had to add some black coffee. Coffee needed to be stronger. Husband had a bloody Mary that was pretty good. The gumbo was delicious! I only got a cup and my husband and I gobbled it up. Complex, savory, comforting. We also had the fried green tomatoes - those were just okay. Felt a little under fried. The fried chicken Benedict was perfect. When we cut into the chicken it was soooo juicy. Hope to be back next time I'm in Healdsburg!

The Parish Cafe was really good, beignets were fluffy, and we got one of their yummy special breakfast sandwiches (I think the Ruffino). We would definitely be back here, the outside area had great seating!
