Built in 1927, Fig313 stands today as an original historical landmark of San Clemente, with a history that is meant to be shared with its seaside community. Carefully constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, distinctive design features include red-tile roofs, white stucco walls, hand-crafted windows and arches, painted tiles, and open-air courtyards.

Originally owned for the first 33 years by John and Jeanette Riley, 313 El Camino Real was renowned as Riley’s Waffle and Coffee Shop. Legend has it that actor John Wayne frequented the restaurant for a hearty American breakfast along with many travelers from all over the world. From 1960 on, Riley’s Café would change ownership many times, evolving into a furniture store, French restaurant, tequila company, and catering business. In 2012, the current owners purchased the property and began renovations and restoration, while staying true to the integrity of the original style.

    An exceptional dining experience from the minute we walked up to the hostess desk to the minute we walked away from the hostess desk. Everybody was lovely. The ambience was perfect. The food was on point and we were exceedingly happy with our overall experience. Thank you.

    Beautiful restaurant,amazing patio. Good food and service. Well prices or actually on at lower price point for food quality and presentation. You can see that each meal is worked on and plated with attention to detail, and not just dumped on the plate. I noticed each of our meals included expensive, quality items. My friend had sea-bass- beautiful Chilean sea-bass, perfectly cooked and served broth perfect for dipping - so we order side of sliced bread. If you going to order the fish, definitely order side of bread, you will love it. Price on point , maybe even under, I would expect to pay bit more for that dish. My dish for example, Beef Bouginion , had prime meat pieces and variety of expensive mushrooms like trumpets for example, etc… As for cocktails, they ware great, specially fig old fashioned (they fig infuse their whiskey). Come in weekday as it will be less crowded and you get to choose your table. Fig is definitely best place in town or out of many cities around. We will be back for sure and soon!

    Fantastic place- incredible food, lovely atmosphere. Wonderful attentive service. It was my birthday and I had a wonderful time. Mike, our server was great. The menu was so tasty- all my favorites- octopus starter and scallop entree- my husband enjoyed his Cesar salad and fillet mignon. Such a lovely setting! It was truly memorable! Thank you- highly recommend!!

    This may be our favorite spot. The goat cheese fondue is an appetizer not to be missed. Can’t pick a favorite entree because so many are so good, and the specials are our choose half the time. Wine list is not long but covers something for everyone.

    A good but I unfortunately way overpriced bistro like restaurant in San Clemente. The food was not remarkable though others apparently disagree. The prices were: $12 for bread; $54 for pasta; $16 for dessert. Go if this is your sort of thing.
