Folie Douce was established in 1991 and quickly became a local favorite due to its emphasis on good food, good wine and good fun. Owner Wendy Day and chef Mike Stengl use fresh ingredients from local farmers and vendors to create new entr es every evening. Folie Douce's intimate setting is ablaze with color and adorned with paintings by local artists.
Diners pass the wood-burning oven as they enter the cozy bistro.
The restaurant features freshly baked focaccia, appetizers such as Japanese grilled oysters, entr es that include wood-fired oven pizza, wasabi steak and seasonal fish as well as house made desserts. Folie Douce is located in Arcata's Northtown section on G Street between 15th and 16th streets.
