MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Smack in the center of Ojai, The Dutchess reigns from its perch inside a charming 1920s building. It may be the queen of cool, but prim and proper it's not. Instead, this quirky concept features a bakery/cafe by day and a trendy Burmese restaurant by night. Come hungry, as this heartfelt menu is brimming with snacks, salads, curries and large plates designed for sharing. Begin with a tea leaf salad, piled high with slightly bitter tea leaves balanced by napa cabbage and sungold tomatoes with crispy-crunchy peanuts, fried garlic and shallots. Chickpea tofu is perfectly golden-brown and sided by a sweet and sour tamarind sauce. The contemporary, rustic dishes are bested by the skillfully prepared desserts, like a decadent chocolate-caramel ganache tart.
