San Francisco | Where to Eat · The Simple Proof

I hope you are enjoying this week long series all about San Francisco! It’s one of my favorite topics. I love recommending my favorites to friends and readers. It’s also so much fun to discover new-to-me or newly opened spots in a city I have called home for so many years.

Cities by the nature of them attract foodies, especially San Francisco. People always want to know where are the best places to eat. It’s one of the first questions I ask when traveling to a new place. In San Francisco, this question is always on local and visitor’s minds. It’s a food scene pure and simple. I’ve been to most of these recommendations and the few I haven’t are high on my list to try as soon as possible. Here goes, 10 top picks!

Marlowe – SoMa, fresh, beautiful, delicious

Plow – Potrero Hill, best brunch ever

Outerlands – Outer Sunset cafe

Central Kitchen – Mission, fresh local California cuisine

Piccino – Dogpatch, modern Italian

Cotogna – Jackson Square, rustic Italian

Craftsman + Wolves – Mission, patisserie + cafe

Wayfare Tavern – Financial District, Traditional American

Giorgio’s – Inner Richmond, old school family pizzeria

The Mill – NoPa/Alamo Square, most instagrammed toast ev-a!

10 of my favorites and so many more to choose from. Try venturing away from Fisherman’s Wharf and Pier 39 where the guide books send all the visitors. There are so many amazing gems in every neighborhood, it’s hard to go wrong.

A few more to try around the city and beyond:

A16

Nopa

Trick Dog

Bar Tartine or Tartine Bakery
