Description
The Ledford House Restaurant is located just seven miles South of Mendocino on Highway One in Albion, California. Its bluff top location on the Albion headlands allows panoramic views of the Pacific ocean and breathtaking sunsets.
The Restaurant reflects the provencal style of Southern France and accommodates 60 to 80 people in the elegance of two dining rooms where expansive windows allow the Pacific Ocean to become part of the decor. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming with a casual elegance, both comfortable and sophisticated.
We have been cooking together since 1976 when we started a small espresso shop in the Sierra Nevada’s. We owned and operated what became a full breakfast & lunch restaurant for 10 years. In 1986 we sold our “Morning Thunder Cafe” and moved to the Mendocino Coast where we took over “The Ledford House Restaurant”.
We are both self-taught cooks, in love with the romance of flavors, good living and lore of food. Our travels, reading, experimenting and basic feasting keeps our culinary interests sparked. It seemed only natural to have settled our passion on the Mendocino coast in a bistro’s balance of contemporary and classic culinary style. Our menu is based around our herb gardens, Tony’s breads, local farms and wonderful local wines. During the dinner hours Lisa is the executive chef and Tony the Maitre d’. We change our menu monthly enhancing it with nightly specials and a nightly “Bistro Prix Fix” menu. We also cater small private parties, weddings and wine paring menus.
Our produce, meat, poultry & fish come from farms, ranches & fisheries guided by principles of sustainability
Please come visit us and enjoy the French side of California Cuisine at The Ledford House Restaurant.

Celebrated a birthday tonight with special friends. And we also celebrated a friend no longer with us
The service was outstanding, warm, attentive, just perfect. The food was tasty and delicious. We each had a different item, and everyone was pleased. Of course the ambience is beyond beautiful!
I can’t thank the Ledford House enough for making this evening so special. This is truly a special restaurant and we will be back.

Amazing place! They have a great view of the ocean and super fresh food. Everyone was super helpful and friendly while we were figuring out what to order. Highly recommend this place, especially for travelers!

Had the duck pate, rabbit and Bourride. The rabbit is so tender and fine, the sauce with thyme and other herbs truly brings out in southern France. The Bourride is full of fresh rock cod, with fennel and saffron… truly brings out my memories of Marseille. This is one of the two French restaurants in California that brings me back to the smells and taste of France. 5 stars for the authenticity of flavors!

Can’t say enough good things about Ledford. From the ambience and beautiful vibes to the incredibly delicious food, everything was perfect. The service was absolutely fantastic—so warm and inviting.
We celebrated our 5th anniversary and they surprised us with champagne, which made the evening feel even more special. Such a classy place. It truly has my heart, and we’ll definitely be back.
