Their bread is good enough to make you weep, but if you don’t live on bread alone, know that the sandwiches, croissants, and pretty much everything from the oven are amazing.
Eating an Umami burger, like the triple pork with fresh ground pig, chorizo, bacon, manchego cheese, and pimento aioli, is kind of like going to burger heaven. Leer más.
Is this the greatest place in the universe? Nobody’s mother made roast beef like this. – Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations
My favorite stop before or after a flight to load up on Dungeness crab & oysters. A classic west coast oyster bar. -Ana Sortun, Top Chef
Sit in the back patio, order a freshly squeezed juice or a mimosa and get any of the eggs benedict (though I highly recommend La Mer â the crab benedict).
Congratulations, you've found one of Esquire's Best Bars in America. Tosca’s is a monument to chrome and red leatherette and burnished wood. Good drinks, too.
The egg custard tarts here are the best & rival those found in Hong Kong. It’s worth the wait to get a hold of these buttery delicious treats. Just don’t make the mistake of only getting one! - Fiona
A16 is simple Italian foods that chef Nate Appleman lovingly prepares to an intimate dining room. Chocolate Sadino with sea salt and xu is the way to finish up. -Kevin Gillespie, Top Chef
Mature and stylish, Perbacco has quickly established itself as one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. Owner Umberto Gibin is a presence in the front of house. [Eater 38 Member] Leer más.
The pizza here is Neapolitan -- the Italian invention where the toppings are just the accompaniment to the lovingly made dough that bubbles & crisps in a 900-degree wood-fired oven. Leer más.
Refined California-French in a casual setting. Menus are always intuitive based on what's available. -Laurine Wickett, Top Chef
You can make the argument that no restaurant in the last decade has changed the dining landscape quite like Delfina and its pizzeria offshoot next door. And that's a good thing. [Eater 38 Member] Leer más.
Try the Marlowe Burger (Niman beef on brioche with caramelized onions/bacon/horseradish aioli). Leer más.
Since it opened, F+W has been making waves with its sophisticated pizzas and pasta, but even more impressive is that it's lived up to the hype. [Eater 38 Member] Leer más.
The delectably addicting fries here are made with Kennebecs, i.e. the crème de la crème of potatoes. They've got the best texture, perfect with the juicy burger on their housemade English muffin.
Part ancient Rome, part unpretentious California, this popular, critically-acclaimed restaurant excels in creating casually authentic Italian food. Try the homemade pasta with carbonara.
Definitely order the flatbreads and the pork chops. Great bartenders, cocktails and communal table if you don't have a reservation. And they serve till 1 am.
Gnocchi are absolutely divine - soft subtle gold Yukon potato enhanced by deep strong sauce of bacon and clams. Unexpected but awesome combination!
This unintimidating, cozy French restaurant is one of the city’s best dining experiences. Chef Roland Passot is in the kitchen every night. As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain.
Wow, what an experience. It is more of a special occasion place but food and service will wow you. -Tim Nugent, Top Chef Just Desserts
A hidden Michelin-starred gem. Tasting menu only. Japanese-inflected haute cuisine with molecular touches. Great for a romantic dinner.
They bring an intelligent enthusiasm to the food - sweet breads & lobster claw, or a foie gras desert - & it's a pleasure to taste the latest in fine dining for a good price. Leer más.
Although it's still a fine-dining experience with fancy, discreet waiters, the emphasis is on reimagined American favorites like salt-baked prime rib, Japanese burgers, and foie gras PB&J. Leer más.

Mix and match items from both the hot kitchen and the sashimi bar and it’s worth checking out the daily crudo special. - Inspector
You will not go wrong with the foie gras, porcini and poached egg, and lobster ravioli. decadent and delicious.
Attention to detail at Benu is fantastic. Food is amazing and the presentation if fabulous. Cosmic music box birthday cake, FTW! Also, save room for the end of meal puzzle box chocolates.
Get ready for steak-centric dining with a dash of Japanese flair. Good news when the head chef promises a bar program worthy of this cocktail-crazy city. Leer más.
Michelin-rated Kaiseki. Every course is impeccable. Best meal I've had in a long, long time.
10 courses is amazing. Make sure to order the egg with morilles + the filet mignon with truffles. By far the best restaurant in palo alto
Expensive California cuisine at the Michelin-starred restaurant at Rosewood Sand Hill hotel.
So many rooms. So many DJ's. So many dance floors. All that and a gigantic waterfall! TW ♥'s 1015 Folsom! Leer más.
Great rustic Italian cuisine: Grilled sepia (with roasted string beans), Jewish style artichoke, and the wine selection were great! Full bar & excellent service!
Be sure to get a seat at the window for stellar bay views...order the octopus and roasted potato salad.
One of the most anticipated restaurant openings in a long time. You should know that the fare is called “progressive American” & a portion of your bill goes to charity. Leer más.
Best Brunch in The City. Pop tarts. Fried eggs deglazed with balsamic. Brown sugared bacon. Fruits de mer. Sit outside. Wear your best sunglasses.
Rent a boat and paddle to the top of the island in the middle of Stow lake, a popular spot for couples to picnic. #vday
Get the signature seafood cioppino, with clams, prawns, scallops, bay shrimp, crabmeat, mussels and white fish.
Even the lobby can be an indulgent sanctuary. Sit in the lounge, order the steak Tagliate on the St Regis Lounge menu and the uni indulgent Staff Meal from Ame's menu. Enjoy the ambience.
The only acceptable greasy hangover food spot in the hood. Hold out as long as you can to avoid all the hipsters. Everything's good!
A trip to San Francisco is not complete unless you pick up some Ghirardelli chocolates to bring home to the ones you love. Ghirardelli kiosks are located throughout all the terminals in SFO.
Before or after your fabulous meal at French Laundry taste our wines at Cornerstone Cellars - we're a 5 minute walk south just across from the post office. Foursquare visitors taste 2 for the price Leer más.
Once you get the daily passcode online, walk into a dark moulin-rouge setting and have yourself the finest cocktails around. This place is the french laundry of bars, good luck getting in. -Yigit Pur
Enjoy some of San Francisco's finest French cuisine in this handsomely renovated former jazz club.
Besides "the" chicken, Zuni's burger, Caesar salad and bloody Mary have all been called the best in the city. [Eater 38 Member] Leer más.
All that you could ask for in a bread bakery. Each loaf is given special care. The pan de mie are soft and slightly sweet. The walnut levain has a dense, malty crumb inlaid with chopped walnuts. Leer más.
This place has everything from fresh flowers, to bread, fish, meat, veggies, fruit. It’s a great place to stock up and spend the day. - Nikki
A beer garden with bikers, a jukebox with local bands & a back patio full of picnic tables. As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain.
the bartenders here actually earn the title of 'mixologist'. they work some serious magic.
Yes, it’s on 4 wheels, and the dining room is nonexistent. But El Tonayense happens to be one of this city’s most revered Mexican food fixtures. – Samantha Brown
From the cocktail program to the always solid menu, Range is one of the most consistent restaurants in town. And, for what it's worth, it's got the only Michelin star in the Mission. [Eater 38 Member] Leer más.
without a doubt the best organic farm in the United States. Their stonefruits are tops!
Pastry chef William Werner distinguishes himself from the pack with croissants glazed with passion fruit and sesame seeds and semolina cake studded with candied corn nuts.
Whatever you get here, make sure you get it with bacon. Their applewood smoked bacon is AMAZING!
Their orange juice is the freshest you can possibly get. Get the small though. The large is huge.
enjoy the ambience of a coffee shop that loves coffee, rather than a makeshift internet café. Unplug, unwind, enjoy their music and a damn good latte.
The gourmet coffee company has been multiplying throughout the Bay, but as charming as the Hayes Valley original garage outpost is, the Mint Plaza location was BB's coming-out party. [Eater 38 Member] Leer más.
This coffee is life changing. They brew each cup individually while you wait, and it is out of control good. It's also quite strong, so if you aren't into that - this probably isn't the spot for you. Leer más.
Amazing space, perfectly edited neighborhood market. Like the love child of Whole Foods and Dean & Delucca. Throw in Four Barrel coffee and a friendly staff for the win!
Go inside and up to the top level. Pick an end of the building, depending on the light, and shoot straight across at the clock. The lines of the glass on the ceiling create a very interesting effect.
Get a high, central room with sweeping vistas across the water and the bridges - and it is an outstanding hotel
Don't miss out on the Room service. Particularly for breakfast. Bacon is excellent, as is the salmon and egg croissant, good coffee, etc. Service is great in everything they do.
Walk past the reception, make a left and ride the glass elevator for the best views overlooking the bay. Then hit the Clock Bar for an inventive cocktail – try the Hawaii 5.1.
It is said that every US President since William Howard Taft has stayed at this hotel. This hotel is the first place Tony Bennett ever sang “I Left My Heart in San Francisco.”
that San Francisco coffee house vibe without all the attitude. new favorite love!
I love this place. The coffee, the toast, the subway tiles, the pretty, disaffected waitstaff, the sea of twee. I would nap here if they would let me.
This place is all about the uber-baristas, so stick with lattes & cappuccinos. Skip the ice coffee (which is often bitter and full of grinds) and the house coffee.
Delicious complimentary breakfast in the morning and wine and cheese in the afternoon.
squeeze yourself into one of the seven seats in this world's smallest bar (i think)
Order a pizza from Giovanni to go with your booze and jazz. The best Neapolitan pizza in the city and nobody knows it's there.
Arguably one of the best beer selections in the Bay Area. They update their menu daily, so there's always a new beer to try.
Awesome selection of beer to go and taps! We love the tap list design! You can even buy beer and have it corked for you to drink in the store!
The Golden Gate Bridge was the longest suspension bridge span in the world when it was completed in 1937, & has become an internationally recognized symbol of San Francisco and CA.
Everything here is SO good, but so far my favorites are ordering the Moscow Mule + Beef Brisket & Spicy Cabbage (app or sandwich). YUM!
...enjoy this upscale elegant bar. Awesome interior with ever-changing digital artwork displayed on various screens! Classy atmosphere... let's not forget some of the finest cocktails in the city! Leer más.
