In all my travels, I've never encountered a tiny town like Mentone that has such fantastic food. I initially wrote about 4 paragraphs extolling the virtues of all these fine eating locations, but then decided to just list them in alphabetical order and let you decide for yourself which is your favorite. I've only included those that we've tried and can recommend, but there are many more listed on the Other Places link at the bottom of the list. Those with asterisk (*) are on my Downtown Mentone map.
