While the borders between Corte Madera and Larkspur can be fuzzy for some, we are sticking to restaurants within the Corte Madera zip code. That means Zinz Wine Bar downtown to Fieldwork Brewing at Town Center and Cafe Verde Pizzeria next to Town Park. The town’s name means “to chop the wood” in Spanish and the restaurants make ample use of the association, whether it’s the fire-roasted pizzas at Boca Pizzeria or the slow-roasted meats at Pig in a Pickle. There is no shortage of notable dining options, from perennial classics like Marin Joe’s to the Burmese and South Asian eatery Burmatown, which even has a listing in the Michelin Guide.
Be sure to check each restaurant’s website or social pages to confirm its most current hours of operation and services.
