An Institution for almost 80 years

Pinehouse Cafe

Established in 1942.

PIne House was originally built and opened as a Cafe & Tavern, supporting the growing community of Mount Laguna which hosted the then active Air Force Base. Decades later the Base was closed, but the little mountain town with it’s community of cabins owners and regular recreational visitors has remained. Less than an hour’s drive from San Diego, Mount Laguna has become a favorite destination of hikers, backpackers, mountain bike & motorcycle riders, and more. Our historic log building has stood the test of time.

Great food, nice, quaint environment.The employees are French and they don’t act like Americans which is part of the reason we love the place. Also, great food especially brats with melted cheese and French bread. Don’t expect a American food chain experience. It’s far from that and it’s amazing. Highly recommend this place if you are in the area.read more

Amazing! We had the chance to have lunch at Pine House Cafe right before the restaurants had to close for dine-in again and we had the most fantastic experience. The owner Eric is a very enthusiastic French man who puts his heart in the business. We had the cheese fondue and it was delicious. The cheese comes with a platter of bread, veggies and fruits and in regards of quantity and quality we found the price very reasonable. We can’t wait to go back!read more

Awesome place under new ownership, lovely French couple with cuisine you normally don’t see east of downtown, let alone in our back country! Yes they have burgers and fries but they also have a wonderful cheese fondue that can be followed by a flaming crepe for dessert! A couple of great beers on tap and delicious coffee to go with the after dinner sweets. A wonderful place for an after hike lunch or dinner and a unique treat for an unusual romantic dinner!read more

Great experience. Owners are a French couple that works efficiently to make you feel welcome. Lunch was great, so we ordered 2 entrees for home. All good. Remember, the French people like to give you time to visit, eat and enjoy (like a sidewalk Cafe in Paris). So please stop and support this small business as you enjoy Mt Laguna.read more

Deliciousness under new management! Everything tastes like it was made from scratch. My husband’s French Beef Stew was richly wine flavored, with hearty beef & carrot chunks. It was topped off by 4 scoops of buttery mashed potatoes. My tomato basil soup was simple, but flavorful. Order the decadent chocolate mousse topped with whipped cream, M&M’s and chocolate sauce. You won’t regret it. We WILL be back!read more
