Larrupin’ Origins

Founded in 1983, Larrupin' has been a cherished dining destination in Trinidad, California for decades. The restaurant was originally located in Westhaven before moving to its iconic location on Patrick’s Point Drive. The name "Larrupin'“ is Creole slang meaning “FINGER-LICKIN’ GOOD” This sentiment has guided the restaurant’s philosophy, creating bold, flavorful dishes that have delighted customers for generations.

One of The Larrupin’ Cafe’s most famous contributions to Humboldt County’s food scene is its signature mustard-dill sauce, introduced in 1983 and has since become a Pacific Northwest favorite. The restaurant quickly gained a reputation for its eclectic, high-quality cuisine, making it a go-to spot for special occasions and memorable dining experiences.

Now, more than 40 years later, The Larrupin' Cafe remains a beloved institution, known for its warm hospitality, creative menu, and ever-evolving wine list, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and travelers alike.
