Morgan Hill keeps getting new food and drink projects, but the only useful list is the current one.
The duplicate versions of this guide have been removed. This is the canonical 2026 page: what is open now, what is worth watching, and what has a real source behind it.
We cut the shaky stuff. If a restaurant does not have a current public listing, official page, city document, or credible local source, it does not get treated as confirmed here.
Quick list
Silos: cocktail bar at 17480 Depot Street with open seating and a kitchen menu.
Chocotella Crepes: Morgan Hill crepe and dessert spot with sweet and savory crepes, acai bowls, mini pancakes, coffee, and desserts.
Mo Jo Hill Cafe: cafe at 17400 Monterey Road, Suite 1B with coffee, breakfast, lunch, pastries, gelato, and catering.
MOHI Social: Leal's pop-up restaurant at the Granada Theatre in downtown Morgan Hill.
MOHI Farm: farm-to-table restaurant at 90 E 3rd Street, still one of the key downtown food anchors.
Hotel MOHI: hotel and dining project at 17490 Monterey Road, expected in 2027 with multiple food and drink spaces.
1. Silos
Status: open
Address: 17480 Depot St, Morgan Hill, CA 95037
Best for: cocktails, small plates, date night, and after-work drinks
Silos is the most visible food-and-drink change around the old granary site. Its own site lists Wednesday through Sunday hours, no reservations, open seating, cocktails, spirits, kitchen items, tinned seafood, and sweets.
Why locals are watching: Depot Street keeps becoming more of a night-out pocket, and Silos gives it a clear cocktail-bar anchor.
2. Chocotella Crepes
Status: open
Address: Morgan Hill
Best for: crepes, dessert, coffee, acai bowls, mini pancakes, and after-school treats
Chocotella's official site lists sweet crepes, savory crepes, cheesecake, acai bowls, waffle sticks, Dubai cups, toast, mini pancakes, beverages, and coffee. It also posts daily opening hours.
Why locals are watching: Morgan Hill has plenty of dinner spots, but dessert-first places are harder to find. Chocotella fills that lane.
3. Mo Jo Hill Cafe
Status: open
Address: 17400 Monterey Rd STE 1B, Morgan Hill, CA 95037
Best for: coffee, breakfast, lunch, pastries, gelato, and catering
Mo Jo Hill Cafe's site positions it as a community cafe with comfort food, craft coffee, fresh pastries, creamy gelato, breakfast, lunch, and catering.
Why locals are watching: this is the kind of all-day cafe Morgan Hill residents actually use between errands, work blocks, and school pickups.
4. MOHI Social
Status: pop-up restaurant
Address: 17440 Monterey Road, Morgan Hill, CA 95037
Best for: downtown dining tied to the Granada Theatre and Leal portfolio
Leal's site describes MOHI Social as a pop-up restaurant at Granada Theatre in downtown Morgan Hill. Treat it as a live downtown food option, not the same thing as the future Hotel MOHI project.
Why locals are watching: it keeps the MOHI food brand active while the larger hotel project moves toward completion.
5. MOHI Farm
Status: open
Address: 90 E 3rd St, Morgan Hill, CA 95037
Best for: farm-to-table dining downtown
MOHI Farm is not a brand-new 2026 opening, but it still belongs on a new-restaurant watchlist because it anchors the same Leal food-and-hospitality push downtown. Its own site lists the Third Street address and farm-to-table concept.
Why locals are watching: MOHI Farm, MOHI Social, and Hotel MOHI together shape the next version of downtown dining.
Coming next: Hotel MOHI
Status: expected in 2027
Address: 17490 Monterey Road, Morgan Hill, CA 95037
Best for: future hotel dining, events, rooftop bar, and downtown visitor traffic
What Now SF reported in March 2026 that The MOHI is slated for 2027 and tied to a Type 47 liquor license filing. The report says the project is expected to include three restaurants, a steakhouse, a raw bar, an artisan bakery, a rooftop pool bar, courtyards, event spaces, and a pool and spa.
The City of Morgan Hill's Hotel MOHI project page also confirms the project location east of Monterey Road between First Street and Second Street.
Why locals are watching: if built as described, Hotel MOHI would be one of the biggest downtown food and hospitality changes in years.

What we are not counting yet
We are not listing rumored build-outs, Reddit mentions, or restaurants with no clean source. Morgan Hill food rumors move fast, and a half-true opening list gets stale faster than almost any other local guide.
If you own or manage a new Morgan Hill restaurant and want to send opening details, hours, menu links, or photos, email us and we will verify before adding it.
