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.

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.

    Great food and drinks. Fantastic atmosphere and friendly staff. Our food was seasoned to perfection. We had a special, wich was a good choice. Fairly priced for unique, creative take on Spanish’s Pork chop with trufle mashed potatoes. Cocktails are good, creative and tasty. Service is prompt and wait staff is very knowledgeable. Well heated patio is cozy and comfortable. My advise, ask to be seated on the patio when making a reservations since everyone like to be there too. On the other hand, Indoor dining is elegant and comfy as well. Favorite dessert, a must have is Fig Butter Cake. Yummy 😋

    I had the mussels with yellow curry which I really enjoyed. The side salad was fresh but the balsamic dressing was too much vinegar. My husband had the special pork cordon blue which he loved. We always hope that the paella was on the menu.

    This place is a welcome addition to San Clemente. The three times I have been there now I haven’t had a bad thing on the menu. Even the bolognese was so good. Looking forward to keeping this place on my regular rotation.
