Magpie Café - Sacramento (CA)

5 /5 Delaney Bird: This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Sacramento. Everyone is always so kind, service is top notch, food and drinks are DELICIOUS. The flavor combinations are always unique and seasonal. I think it’s the best quality to price ratio in Sacramento. My partner and I go pretty often and they make us feel like part of the family. I would especially like to shoutout Tyrone, who always makes the most delicious drinks, even when I ask for all my kooky prohibition-era favorites. But truly, everyone who works at Magpie is so wonderful. I highly recommend their beet salad, burger, BLT, duck skin toast (when they have it), miso radishes, and honestly any special they have is always 10/10 (they had this insane banh mi/yorkshire pudding mashup that was life changing). Check it out if you somehow haven’t been!

5 /5 Ronald Henry: Magpie has quickly become one of my go-to spots in Sacramento. It’s the perfect mix of casual charm and fine dining quality. The food always feels thoughtful and fresh - you can tell they care deeply about sourcing local ingredients. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich on my last visit, and it was out of this world: crispy, juicy, and full of flavor, paired with sides that were just as memorable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere felt relaxed but still polished. It’s the kind of place that works equally well for a casual lunch or a special dinner. Sacramento wouldn’t be the same without Magpie.

5 /5 Alison M C: Went out for a dinner date without a plan. Showed up 30 mins before closing and asked if they would still serve us. Generously, they said of course. We ordered our food right away to help the kitchen, but the staff didnt rush us at all. A bottle of crémant + 4 small plates was perfect to share. Pork belly with sticky candy sauce and frizee apple salad was the star of the show. First time outside of Asia that I had perfectly-cooked pork belly: the fatty bits were liquid hot and made the meat crisp outside and juicy inside. Veggie tempura was a generous portion of crunchy green onion, chile guero and asparagus. We also had lamb meatballs and one arancine. We moved to the bar and they let us stay pretty late talking over our bottle. Thanks to everyones gracious attitude it was a lovely evening. Impressed with the service.

5 /5 Teresa Sedano: Lovely spot in Sacramento with delicious appetizers and creative gastronomic delights! We were visiting family and stopped for lunch...the beet salad and prawn appetizers were fabulous. BLT on foccacia was excellent. Highly recommend!
