Specialties
At Folie Douce, we have a passion for great food. We feel blessed with the abundant edible treasures from Humboldt County’s farms, fields, forests and surrounding waters. The menu changes weekly to celebrate what the season has to offer at that moment.
Our philosophy is to get the best ingredients available and prepare them with respect, creativity and passion. We have farmers delivering produce that they picked that morning, local foragers bringing their freshly picked mushrooms, nettles, and berries, and our local oyster farm bringing us oysters fresh from the bay. All of our local distributors feature their specialties at the local farmers’ markets as well.
Our seafood is from sustainable fisheries and our meats are from naturally raised animals (free-range, no hormones, no antibiotics, no feed with crazy stuff in it). All of the produce, dairy, and eggs are 100% organic. We also only use organic flour, rice, nuts, cornmeal, etc.
History
Established in 1991.
Folie Douce’s dedication to using local produce and purveyors is evident throughout the restaurant. Our wines are mainly local California wines, but we also have some great European wines on the menu, and our craft brews round out our menu.
We feature a local artist, local winemaker, and local farmer every quarter, celebrating with an event each month to feature them individually. We also set ourselves apart by providing outstanding service. Every dinner at Folie Douce is an exceptional experience.
We just opened for lunch! Monday-Friday 11 – 2 with counter service. You are welcome to dine in or take togo. the menu is developing and has daily changing specialties
We hope you enjoy our food as much as we enjoy serving our local cuisine.

We believe using local and sustainable produce, seafood, meats, and purveyors doesn’t just lend us the benefit of enjoying delicious food in its peak of freshness, but it also supports our community and ensures we have these beautiful treats for years to come. Our involvement in the greater Arcata community is important to us, which is why we’re proud to feature these local artists and purveyors right here in our restaurant on a monthly basis. Join us for a great meal and to learn more about the wonderful members of the Humboldt County community.
