The Varian Cafe - Palo Alto

This restaurant is conveniently located near my workplace, but I usually don't go there unless they are serving pho on Thursdays.

Fantastic variety of food options, convenient location, and a welcoming atmosphere. The only downside is the parking situation. I have been dining here regularly as a non-staff member for years. The salad bar, soups, and main dishes are all excellent. The average cost per person is around $10. It's a convenient spot to visit if you are in the Page Mill area near El Camino Real.

Wonderful staff! I absolutely adore the cooks and register-runners.

The menu at this restaurant is frequently updated, but guests have reported receiving partially cooked food from the live counter. Additionally, customers have noted that the only water available is ice-cold, and there is a lack of options for hot or room temperature water.

Food is good for a company cafateria. Open to public, but it is mainly for Varian employees. Prices displayed is employee price.
