1. Andersen Bakery
San Francisco, CA 94105
(415) 512-8160
Categories:
Bakeries,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: SOMA
Lunch is Downtown San Francisco can be really hit or miss, it seems, but after seeing the sign for the pick two special in front of the door of this place, I had to give it a try.
My first visit I ordered the half vegetarian sandwich (the one with…More »
2. Annie's Hot Dogs & Pretzels
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 861-0778
Category:
Food Stands
Neighbourhood: Union Square
OK, so my veggie dog with spicy red onions and sauerkraut was the most amazing hot dog I've ever had in my life. My husband said it was just an Amy's brand hot dog boiled and handed to me, but I'm just sayin', it was magical. Of course, it was…More »
3. Boudin Sourdough Bakery & Cafe
Soup in a sourdough breadbowl? Ain't nothin' wrong with that!
My husband and I had dinner here a few nights ago. It was our first visit to this location, and we really enjoyed it. The staff was all-around friendly. The atmosphere was great. I loved…More »
4. Boudin Sourdough Bakery & Cafe
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 928-1849
Categories:
Bakeries,
Specialty Food,
Cafes
Neighbourhood: Fisherman's Wharf
Another reason to visit the Fisherman's Wharf! This is the place to get some of that ole famous San Francisco sourdough! You don't want to miss it (but if you do, be SURE to grab some at the airport before you catch your plane home)! If you go at…More »
5. Burgermeister
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 296-9907
Category:
Burgers
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
This is one of the best veggie burgers in town, and my hubby agrees on the non-vegetarian burgers as well. We've been to this place twice now, and we will definitely be back.
The veggie patty was delicious, and unlike any other I've had. It was not a…More »
6. Cafe Dolci
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 392-9222
Categories:
Coffee & Tea,
Vietnamese,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Union Square
I probably don't have anything new to say, but this place is awesome. I would not have known it if not for Yelp because it is so tiny, it would be easy to miss, especially with all the traffic and pedestrians on Market Street. However, the tofu…More »
7. Catch Isle
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 882-1699
Category:
Seafood
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
Found this on Yelp and I'm glad I did. Not that it hasn't been said yet, but $5.50 fish 'n' chips?!?! Forget about it! The fish was a little greasier than I would have liked, but nonetheless tasty.
Bonus: This is probably the cheapest meal in the…More »
8. El Farolito
You can't put a price on the perfect burrito, but I'm happy to report El Farolito will fill your belly without emptying your wallet.
Bonus: The beans are vegetarian! Nom!
For our first visit here, I ordered the veggie and my husband ordered one with…More »
9. Fuddruckers
It's Saturday night -- date night. Where else can you go but Fuddruckers, of course! I'm only half-kidding. I mean, it depends on who you are talking to, but the hubby and I sure do love us some burgers and shakes. Just sayin'.
We were pretty excited…More »
10. Golden Boy Pizza
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 982-9738
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
It's been a couple months since I last went to Golden Boy, but I still remember the experience fondly. I'd been out with some friends at House of Shields, when we decided to embark on a journey to find some delicious and relatively cheap food. Golden…More »
11. Hubcaps
I've always loved diners. When done right, they can be very cozy, and you can fall right into regulardom without even noticing. I feel like Hupcaps and I could have that kind of relationship. Being that we are new to the area and California in…More »
12. In-N-Out Burger
San Francisco, CA 94133
(800) 786-1000
No visit to The City by the Bay is complete without a stop at the In-N-Out Burger on the Fisherman's Wharf! The word is fresh, OK? Don't forget to get your fries Animal Style (check out the link below to the "secret" menu)! It's also veggie friendly:…More »
13. King of Thai Noodle House
Not long ago my hubby and I had a hankering for some Thai food. A friend recommended this place and we were nearby, so we thought we would give it a try.
We ordered the pineapple curry with shrimp, and a vegetarian pad-Thai, and split both. The curry…More »
14. La Farine Bakery
Oakland, CA 94618
(510) 654-0338
Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhoods: Rockridge, North Oakland
Chocolatines. Apple croissants. Morning buns. Baguettes. You can't go wrong here, although I have to say the chocolatines are my favorite. I tried this place while exploring Rockridge with my hubby a couple weeks ago, and find it completely charming…More »
15. Las Palmas
Oakland, CA 94618
(510) 597-0890
While exploring in Rockridge one day, my husband and I did a lot of walking and shopping when we suddenly realized we were famished. After checking out menus at a handful of places nearby, all fairly reasonably priced, we settled on this one, and we…More »
16. Panera Bread
My husband and I were pretty excited when we saw this Panera was going to be joining our area last month. The area was blocked off, and construction was still taking place, but we were counting down the days where a quick walk or drive down the…More »
17. Sally's Famous Fishwich
San Francisco, CA
Categories:
Food Stands,
Sandwiches
Neighbourhood: Fisherman's Wharf
Eight dollars for a fishwich??? Yes, but did you see the size of it? My husband and I split one with a side of fries, and could not have done better. Two drinks also and the bill was only $15.
The cole slaw, vinegar, and breading all made the sammy a…More »
18. San Francisco Soup Company
San Francisco, CA 94102
(415) 512-0472
Category:
Soup
Neighbourhoods: Union Square, SOMA
This is definitely one of the cheapest places to eat in the mall, and it might be one of the healthiest too.
I have been here twice, and both times was pleased by the food and service. The first time I was shopping with a girlfriend, and I ordered…More »
19. Sunshine Café
If you can get down with some greasy spoon, old school diner type places, Ann's Sunshine Cafe is definitely for you. The service is friendly. The breakfast is traditional and tasty. Your eggs will be cooked just as you like them. If you like your…More »
20. Tropisueño
A coworker and I checked out this place for lunch one day. I ordered the cheese enchilada plate. It was phenomenal and a little spicier than other Mexican food I've had so far in California, which coming from Texas, I liked.
Bonus: Lunch was under…More »
21. What's Up Dog
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this place yet. In the going on four months since I've moved to the Bay Area, I rarely eat at the same place twice because I am constantly exploring. Sure, it's close to my office, but I sincerely doubt it's…More »
