Zuni Cafe in the Civic Center is still an icon, and it sits firmly at the top of our list of favorite restaurants in this town.

The city’s best omakase.

Gary Danko is a taste of a fancier, older San Francisco you’re probably not used to. Fortunately, it’s a very delicious taste.

Outerlands has the brunch game down. Absolutely worth a trip to the Sunset.

Sorrel is an upscale California-Italian place in Pac Heights that’s designed to impress, even if they do everything a little too by the book.

This low-key Asian-American restaurant in North Beach serves delicious seasonal dishes and fresh seafood.

The best breakfast in town, if you ever get the chance to eat it.

Food for the Lululemon crowd, and for us too. Jane on Fillmore finely toes the line between healthy and delicious. If only they were open for dinner.

Try Gardenias, in lower Pac Heights, when you’re looking to drink a bottle of wine and eat like a moderately health-conscious French king.

Amarena is a small Italian spot in Russian Hill that’s great for dropping into on a weeknight for some solid pasta.

La Trappe is a bar in North Beach with the best beer selection in the neighborhood.

Tsubasa Sushi in Hayes Valley is a small Japanese place with great sushi, perfect for a low-key date night.
