California is full of historic restaurants that invite patrons into a dining experience that began well before they were born.
These establishments boast rich history and culture, and remain open due to the delicious food that graces their menus. While there are a handful of California eateries that have been in business for decades, only one has been open since 1887 and still stands to this day!
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the most historic restaurant in California is The Old Clam House in San Francisco. This standout location was created in 1861 and even withstood the "1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire."
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the oldest restaurant in all of California:
"Los Angeles is full of classic restaurants with tales of Hollywood lore, but many of the oldest spots are in San Francisco. Established in 1861, The Old Clam House is the oldest restaurant in the city to remain in its original location, even surviving the famous 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire. As the name suggests, the restaurant is known for its ultra-fresh Pacific seafood – order the signature Old Clam House Chowder and you won't be disappointed."
