The Peasant & The Pear, Chef Rodney Worth’s first “jewel” in his crown, is the first of many successful award-winning restaurants owned and operated by Chef Rodney. Considered the flagship restaurant within the Worth Group, Chef Worth prides himself on serving classic “peasant cuisine” at this historic downtown Danville location. The diverse menu includes classic dishes with a modern flare along with beautifully composed salads, sandwiches, entrees & house-made pastries. All of the dishes are made with local, sustainable ingredients when possible, and the menu changes seasonally to ensure maximum freshness. We invite you to join us for lunch, dinner, happy hour and all of your special occasions.

Chef Rodney’s Favorite: Italian Lamb Shank – Sonoma lamb shank slow-braised in Chianti, osso buco-style, topped with lamb demi-glace & gremolata, served with creamy provolone polenta.
