Open Restaurants

Mountain View is home to an amazing diversity of fabulous restaurants, and many now have patio seating. On Castro Street, several blocks have been closed to cars and you can enjoy the best in outdoor dining for the rest of year. Around the city, most offer takeout and/or delivery. They all are also taking precautions to ensure your health and safety in the preparation and serving of your meals. We encourage you to support these delicious and versatile businesses in person, with a food order or a gift certificate. Try the Mountain View Universal Gift Card below!
