Title says it all. Whatcha got?
At a minimum go to Riviera on Montgomery drive. Excellent Italian food, and the owners are two brothers who have been fixtures in the loca cycling scene for decades. The interior of the place is a shrine to cycling and the athletes who have come through Santa Rosa.
Other than that, where are you staying and what kind of food do you like? Two tread brewing, Jackson’s bar and grill, the Thai place on 5th street, new ramen place on 4th street. Sea Thai bistro, sea Thai noodle shop, 3rd st aleworks, all sorts of places around here. Windsor has some great places too- tomi Thai, kin, umi sushi, Saigon bistro, etc.
Skip anything associated with Guy Fieri.
Also a plug for Echelon cycle and Multisport in railroad square- just on the other side of the freeway from the finish line/expo area. The owners are good friends of mine and the friendliest bike shop you’ll ever visit.

Staying in Windsor. Like all kinds of foods. Appreciate the suggestions. Looking forward to getting out there. Thanks
Bird & The Bottle on 4th Street is a solid choice to add to the list. And if you are inclined towards a pint post-race the Russian River Brewery is at hand. After a long day a cold Pliny is well deserved!!
Russian River Brewing Company.

The menu is ok, maybe above ok, but you get some of the best beer in the country.
