New American cuisine reaches new levels at Metro Lafayette on Mount Diablo Boulevard. Executive Chef Albert Rivera has helped to create a menu that blends the seasonal ingredients of California with the culinary sensibilities of France, which results in a truly special dining experience.

Brunch, lunch, happy hour, and dinner are all fantastic at Metro Lafayette. Each dish is created with the attention to detail and care you would expect from a Michelin-rated restaurant. Comforting entrees like pasta bolognese and chicken breast with country gravy appear right alongside more adventurous options like miso-glazed black cod and duck confit with kumquat gastrique, giving you a full spectrum of flavors to choose from. The cocktails here only help to balance out the meal, with pink lavender and chipotle pear martinis just the start of the drink list. Together with the inviting ambience of dining room and bar, this restaurant will be the first to come to mind for date night or a special evening with family and friends.
