Discover downtown Danville's hidden gem! The Peasant & The Pear, located along a brick pathway behind the Danville Clock Tower, owes its name to its rustic cuisine, and to its location in the agricultural region that once housed the world's largest pear orchard.

Executive Chef and owner Rodney Worth, voted "Best Chef" a record NINE times by the readers of Diablo magazine, honors the area's history by offering delicious, unpretentious, seasonal menus that showcase the very freshest ingredients available which has earned us the distinction of being a Michelin recommended restaurant and a Zagat rating of 4.5.

Whether dining in the warm, Tuscan-style dining room, outside on the large private courtyard, or at the antique Parisian bar, you'll be wowed by the fabulous food, the great selection of wine & spirits, the staff's friendly and knowledgeable service, all offered in a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. We look forward to having you join us for a meal!

This review reflects the overall experience as a result of service experience. Even though our server seemed "nice" it felt forced. We get these looks from the manager and overheard comments which made us feel like we were not good enough to be served there. Maybe because we weren't dressed fancy or of a different race? Been to many restaurants and never felt quite like this here. It is unfortunate that the professionalism is lacking here.

We spent the summer nights at The Peasant & The Pear bar and lounge. It was nice and relaxing, especially with the music in the background. Sitting outside is really nice on a warm summer day. Nice set up!! Great time.

The food and service is excellent. The seating is too close to one another which makes the noise level very loud - hard to hold a conversation.
