This place just continues to get better and better. It has become at Thursday night tradition at this point. And I swear the people who come here are getting classier and classier too!
Amelie creates an absolutely perfect relaxed (but very much…More »

Categories:
Bakeries,
Coffee & Tea
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
Me and my family have been coming here for YEARS and nothing has changed.
Their Sacripantina Cake (orig. from Genoa) is to die for. Just make sure if you get a full one you know how long it's going to be before you eat it (they need to be out of the…More »

ORDER THE REAL MAPLE SYRUP.
After many trips to Montreal this year, and feeding my addiction with all the "real" maple syrup I've smuggled back, I've decided that I will actually springing for their "real" maple syrup every time (yes, it's on the…More »

Category:

Neighbourhood: Financial District
Very romantic, wonderful jazz pianist on some nights (make sure you bring more than your Amex so you can tip him accordingly, and call ahead to get a table/booth near him or just above him on the balcony). The bar has an incredible selection and the…More »
7. Ti Couz - CLOSED
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 252-7373
Best french onion soup, period, france included.Try the Salmon and Onion Crepe, if you're into that sort of thing and enjoy the Crepe Suzette for dessert with a glass of champagne. The Seafood salad is alos very good.
8. Golden Boy Pizza
San Francisco, CA 94133
(415) 982-9738
Category:
Pizza
Neighbourhood: North Beach/Telegraph Hill
If you like your pizza thick and full of toppings, this is your place. Get a pitcher, and bring your iPod for the bartender. They have good taste. Perfect "base" before North Beach Bar hopping.
9. Submarine Center
I went here as a kid, I went all through school (SI and St. Brendan's alumni should be familiar)
Same guys running the place all these years, nothing has changed. You'll feel embarrassed to go to Subway or Quiznos again.
And the line moves quick so…More »
10. Walzwerk
How have I now reviewed this place yet!
I've been here dozens of times and it's one of my family's favorites.
The beer selection is also as you would expect at any German restaurant. (Franziskaner or Schneider Weisse for me)
My favorites on the menu…More »
11. Suppenküche
Pure heaven.
Vibrant atmosphere. Amazing service. Mouthwatering food.
Between the 5 of us (and the two people at our table who willing shared THEIR meals as well) we covered just about everything on the menu and most of the appetizers.
I know you…More »

Categories:

I have been waiting YEARS for a sushi place like this to open up in this neighborhood.
The service is exceptional. I do takeout every week and every so often dine-in. They always remember me.
It's so true, sometimes you wanna go...where everybody…More »
13. Francesco's Restaurant
two words: Osso Bucco.
It's the special on Tuesday's and it's mwah, delicious!
(I'm Italian so imagine that with all the unnecessary hand motions and the proverbial three-fingers-to-the-lips kiss into the air finale.)
14. La Corneta Taqueria
When someone asks about great mexican food you probably don't think of Glen Park. But you should. If you are hungry, the steak and prawn quesadilla is excellent. And make sure you get some salsa for your chips before you leave.
15. Ebisu

Categories:

Neighbourhood: Inner Sunset
the new Ebisu is fantastic. I've been going for years, and while I miss the old place, the updated interior is prefect. Not to mention we enjoyed some incredible dishes there after a late night at the Academy of Sciences that I can honestly say…More »

16. Bombay Ice Creamery
San Francisco, CA 94103
(415) 864-2193
Category:
Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt
Neighbourhood: Mission
It's like that scene in City Slickers with the Ben and Jerry's wannabes. Cardamom Rose and Saffron Rose Ice Cream go with everything, even extra spicy burritos from La Cumbre's across the street.
17. Good Mong Kok Bakery
I've been going to the same Dim Sum place for several years in SF (take out Dim Sum, not sit down btw)...but after this morning at Good Mong, I will never go anywhere but Good Mong ever again.
Great Dim Sum basics at the expected dim sum price.…More »
18. Taqueria La Cumbre
Great burritos, never changes, I've been going here since I was 6.
Better than El Toro but parkings a little tough so get a friend to jump out and just circle the block.
19. Boulette's Larder
San Francisco, CA 94111
(415) 399-1155
Categories:
American (New),
French
Neighbourhood: Embarcadero
One of my favorite upscale breakfast/brunch spots in San Francisco.
Even on sunnier days, I find myself preferring to be inside with the sights and smells from the kitchen.
And I won't lie, the owner's dog (i think it's a Puli btw, but it's pretty big…More »

My dad took me and my brother here ever sunday until we were about 12. If you find yourself downtown after a long night and want a REAL breakfast where you are not worry about calories or some fancy presentation carved into your pancakes, this is…More »
21. Red's Java House
Forget Bistro Burger and the Rincon Food Court, too crowded. Although rincon would be better if they didn't frown on jumping in the fountain. But I digress....
It's a dock, by the bay. The food is simple and filling. Not the "healthiest" place,…More »
