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. Carefully constructed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, distinctive design features include red-tile roofs, white stucco walls, hand-crafted windows and arches, painted tiles, and open-air courtyards.
Originally owned for the first 33 years by John and Jeanette Riley, 313 El Camino Real was renowned as Riley’s Waffle and Coffee Shop. 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. In 2012, the current owners purchased the property and began renovations and restoration, while staying true to the integrity of the original style.
Parking for Fig 313 is available on the street directly in front of the building on El Camino Real, as well as at the church located on the street directly above the building at 119 Avenida De La Estrella, San Clemente, CA 92672. A private staircase is available on the left-hand side of Fig @ 313 which will lead directly to our entrance.

Had a wonderful dinner at Fig. Love the patio with the twinkling lights and firepit. Fig old fashioned was delicious and the salmon was amazing. Friends had the filet and said it was fabulous. Great service, atmosphere, drinks, and food. A bit pricey but worth it for a special occasion.

We had a lovely Saturday dinner at Fig 313. It's not in the main shopping area of town, but San Clemente is so small, everything is close by. We started with the roasted bone marrow and the pear gorgonzola salad. Bone marrow was fantastic, the salad pretty standard. Good but nothing overly special. My husband had the short ribs which he said were good, and I had the pork carbonara which didn't sound fab on the menu (I just went with a gut feeling), but was really, really good. Pork was super tender, pasta and carbonara weren't cloying or heavy and the mushrooms and truffle were a lovely touch. I also had a Fig Mule, which was perfectly balanced. Overall a great experience.

We recently discovered Fig@313 and have been back several times since. The food and service are excellent. They also have a very fun drink menu. Eating outside under the lights is an added enjoyment. It’s the perfect place for a family group or cozy dinner for two.

Wonderful Saturday night dinner at the San Clemente gem, Fig 313. Everything was wonderful: food, service, drinks. The fog even added to the atmosphere of dining outside on the prettiest patio.
