Mission District

La Taqueria
You CANNOT spend time in the Mission District without getting Mexican food for at least one meal! La Taqueria often tops lists of "best burrito in SF" 🌯
See More
Flour + Water
If you have something to celebrate, there's arguably no better meal in the city than Flour + Water's pasta tasting menu.
See More
Tartine Bakery
One of the best bakeries in the region. If you manage to get there before they sell out of morning buns, definitely order one!
See More
Foreign Cinema
Excellent California cuisine in a beautiful space that projects movies onto one of their patio walls. Their brunch (and a.m. cocktail list) is also top notch!
See More
Craftsman and Wolves Valencia
Their "Rebel Within" muffin is one of the coolest and most delicious baked goods in the entire city.

North Beach

Golden Boy Pizza
Far from your average slice shop! Crispy and soft in all the right places, with great toppings from classic pepperoni to their signature clam pie. Don't be scared away by a long line, it moves quickly!
See More
Original Joe's
A truly classic special occasion Italian restaurant. Great food, great cocktails, great ambiance. Buon appetito 🤌

Tony's Pizza Napoletana
Tony's has won multiple global pizza competitons. There's almost always a wait, but there are plenty of places nearby to grab a drink and pass the time people watching.
See More
Liguria Bakery
Known far and wide for their fresh-made focaccia (the rosemary garlic is my favorite). They close at noon unless they sell out before then, so be sure to arrive early to ensure that you get your hands on some!
See More

Nob Hill

Nob Hill Cafe
Cozy, long-standing neighborhood Italian gem. If you're not sure what to order, the penne with spicy vodka sauce always hits the spot.
See More
Swan Oyster Depot
Swan has been an SF seafood institution since 1912. For the true foodies – do a little research before you make your way over, there are some fun off-menu options that can enhance your visit 🦀🦪🦐
See More
Mymy
Great brunch spot with an expansive menu. There's something for everyone at Mymy!
See More
AltoVino
Excellent Italian spot with an outstanding wine list. Plus it's right along the cable car line, so dining al fresco here has a true SF feel to it.

Haight & Cole Valley

Zazie
I still dream about Zazie's crab benedict! Insider tip: There's almost always a wait, so if you put your name in and go to Finnegans Wake next door for a drink, the host will pop in and call your name when your table is ready.
See More
Magnolia SF - Haight
The best place to stop for a snack and a beverage (and to rest your feet!) on a day of vintage and thrift shopping along Haight St.
See More
Cole Valley Tavern
Great casual neighborhood bar & grill. Their mac and cheese is especially tasty!
See More
NARA
Truly top tier Japanese food. From the sashimi to the mixed tempura to their stellar menu of signature rolls, you really can't order wrong at Nara.
See More

Sunset District

Outerlands
Not to be confused with the city's music festival (Outside Lands), the brunch at Outerlands definitely lives up to the hype. The space itself is also pretty remarkable, with floor-to-ceiling weathered wood and tons of natural light.
See More
Devil's Teeth Baking Company
Order their breakfast sandwich and walk just a few blocks to eat it on the beach. It pairs perfectly with a Pacific Ocean breeze.
See More
Marnee Thai Restaurant
You may notice a good number of familiar Thai dishes on the menu at Marnee, but with their ultra-fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced spice blends, these are perhaps the BEST versions of these dishes that you'll find in the city. The eggplant curry with sticky rice is a particular standout!
See More
San Tung
Let's just get this out of the way upfront – their sticky, spicy fried chicken wings are aaabsolutely worth the hype! But even beyond that comfort food staple, San Tung's pot stickers, noodles in black bean sauce, and garlicky green beans will have you planning your return visit before you've even paid your bill.

Hayes Valley

Suppenküche
A full German experience, from the pretzel to the schnitzel to the imported beer that, yes, you can even order by the boot 👢
See More
Biergarten
Keep the German vibe going with a stein in the fresh air at the nearby Biergarten. Made from old shipping containers, this no-frills spot is a great spot for a sunny day. Prost!
See More
Gioia Pizzeria
Tiny spot with a menu full of great pizza and, the true star in my opinion, a few hot sandwiches. The chicken parm is ridiculously good!
See More
Smuggler's Cove
The interior of this Tiki bar, convincingly made up to look and feel like the inside of a ship, has been awarded just about every accolade the bar & cocktail world has to offer. The exterior is pretty nondescript so you'll have to keep your eye out when you arrive – which adds a fun, in-the-know vibe to the whole outing.
See More

Chinatown

御食园 Z & Y Peking Duck
Though its sister restaurant, Z&Y Restaurant, may be slightly better known, this Chinatown spot is also very much worth a visit. They specialize in their out-of-this-world rendition of the namesake crispy skinned poultry dish, which it's recommended to reserve in advance – though their menu also has lots of other tasty options like whole grilled fish and a selection of dim sum.
See More
Golden Gate Bakery
Easily best known for their egg custard tarts, this bakery's unassuming, IYKYK vibe is worth a visit for its pastries as much as its feel-like-a-local ambiance. It's worth noting that this family-owned spot will sometimes close for a couple weeks at a time for a hard-earned vacation, so try not to be too crushed if you show up and strike out 🥧
