To help you plan your visit, our staff has put together a list of our favorite restaurants.  We hope you enjoy your visit to Claremont!

Judy's recommendation:

Pizza N Such
202 Yale Avenue
Claremont, CA 91711
Located on the corner of Yale & Second (see map)
As you might guess, this place is all about the pizza (we like the lunch special that includes the side salad).  Judy always orders: the eggplant sandwich.

Aileen's recommendation:

Wolfe's Market
160 W. Foothill Blvd.
Claremont, CA 91711
(Corner of Foothill and Harvard)

The closest eatery to our campus.  Features two separate counters from which to choose your lunch -- a standard deli and a fancier catering menu.  (Our office is divided as to which is better.)  If you can't find a table, feel free to have a picnic by the HMC admission office!  Aileen always orders: the chicken croissant sandwich (from the catering menu). 

Thyra's recommendation:

The Village Grille
148 Yale Avenue
Claremont, CA 91711
Located on the corner of Yale & Second (see map)

A Claremont fixture for as long as anyone can remember.  This friendly eatery features classic diner fare.  Thyra always orders: a patty melt & a malt shake.


Jamilla's recommendation:

Bua Thai Cuisine
405 W 1st Street
Claremont, CA 91711
Located in the Claremont Village (see map)

Stylish Thai restaurant with an affordable lunch menu.  Jamilla always orders: the curry special.


Peter's recommendation:

Patty's Mexican Foods
1332 N Towne Avenue
Claremont, CA 91711
(Located at the corner of Towne and Foothill, en route to campus from the 210 freeway)

Hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant with legendary burritos.  The décor is lacking, but the food is loved.  If you can't snag a table, feel free to bring your lunch to campus for a picnic.  Peter always orders: orange bang & a quesadilla.


Raissa's recommendation:

Euro Café
546 E. Baseline
Claremont, CA 91711
(Vons center at Baseline and Mills)

Small European-style café (as you might guess by the name).  Features Portugese food and paninis.  Raissa always orders: linguiça.


Falone's recommendation:

Eureka Burger
580 W 1st Street
Claremont, CA 91711
Located in the Claremont Village (see map)

We love the gourmet burgers at this new Claremont restaurant.  Falone always orders: the bison burger.

Pat's recommendation:

Harvard Square Café
206 W Bonita Avenue
Claremont, CA 91711
Located at the corner of Harvard and Bonita (see map)

This is the go-to restaurant for Claremont Colleges students during Parents' Weekend.  The outdoor patio gets a big thumbs-up from our staff.  Pat always orders: the salmon dish.


Colleen's recommendation:

Podge's Claremont Juice Company
124 Yale Avenue
Claremont, CA 91711
Located in the Claremont Village (see map).

Classic California sandwiches and smoothies. We recommend eating on the cheery back patio.  Colleen always orders: the Little Mermaid smoothie.
