It would be a shame indeed if you departed from San Francisco in the United States of America without getting a taste of its culinary offerings—from timeless American and Latino dishes to Asian delights, fusion food, innovative ice creams, and drinks.
Culinary Offerings in San Francisco
Be it Wayfare Tavern and Tadich Grill in the Financial District for the American experience; bayside dining at La Mar, Waterbar, and EPIC Steak; Boudin Bakery at Fisherman’s Wharf; Dungeness crab at PIER 39; or the historic Scoma’s, you are never far from a famous restaurant or bar in San Francisco.
In the shopping hub of Union Square, there is Campton Place Bar & Bistro which offers an interesting twist on Indian cuisine, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. While Cafe de la Presse is known for French specialities, Le Colonial weaves a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisine.
Global Flavours on a Platter
If Little Italy is the right place for the best pizzas on the West Coast, then the best burritos can be found in Mission, the hub of San Francisco’s Latino community. If you are in the Castro district, the hub of the city’s LGBTQ scene, must-try places include Hot Cookie (colossal cookies in various flavours) or Marcello’s (for pizza by the slice).
Enjoy seafood in the Bayview on San Francisco’s south side, especially at The Old Clam House (running since 1861). Radio Africa & Kitchen, a pioneer in SF’s restaurant pop-up trend, offers favourites like chicken jambalaya and saffron prawns on select days. Finally, stop by the heart of San Francisco Bay on Treasure Island. The Woods Island Club offers a diverse beer selection.
