Barefoot Cafe

Quality without the pretentiousness. That's what I experienced here. A great spot to eat in Fairfax.

Great place for brunch! They have inside and outside seating ( great for families with dogs or babies ).

Delicious lava cake

The Belgian Waffles were pretty good but they came with a side of fruit including halved strawberries that had fuzzy blue mold inside them. The server tried to convince me that the mold inside my strawberries were the seeds. A strawberry’s seeds are on the outside. I honestly wouldn’t have given a such a low rating on the moldy berries alone, but the fact the server attempted to lie to me and say that they were safe to eat is the dealbreaker for me. Never going back here.

All smiles at Barefoot Cafe in Fairfax. They surprised our party of 8 after an amazing hike through Cataract Falls. The service was excellent and the food was fresh and delivered fast to our table. We all were extremely satisfied. A few foodie critics at our table spoke not a word as they gobbled down their sandwiches. I especially appreciated that the staff was extremely accommodating and allowed me to create an order that was not on the menu and it was incredible. I had a grilled chicken and spinach with pesto and sun dried tomatoes on grilled sourdough bread. We will definitely visit again when in the area.

Nice place with good food and better service.

Speechless. I was going to get a sandwich at the Deli nearby and it was closed so I saw Barefoot open and decided to get a sit down meal. Small place with nice atmosphere unlike most strip malls today with tile over cement floor and glass to ceiling windows. Instead it was a real building and cozy. Tables well spaced and with linens and real wine glasses. Full bar and exceptional wine menu. Waiter, not server. Chatted about menu and he made sure we were comfortable. He asked if we wanted a box to go for leftovers and asked if he could get it in the box. Thank you! Frustrated when a server hands you a box and walks away and expects a big tip. The my chicken marsala with portabello mushrooms broccoli and mashed potatoes was the best meal I have had in a year. When he lit the pan up on the stove and cloud of flame when up, I knew something special was coming. Everything is fresh and local. It was like being in a small village in France! Will definitely come back! Waiter kicked down some flan no charge and it was heaven. Mmmm! I left feeling really good, not just full. The time from order to plate in front of me was less than ten minutes. Come here and sit down and for an hour, leave the world behind.

Great tasting food. Kind staff.
