Uma Casa is a Portuguese spot that’s worth the trip to Noe Valley.

The Little Chihuahua in Noe Valley is fast-casual Mexican we can actually get behind.

We probably wouldn't venture to Noe Valley just for a meal at Contigo, but we're happy this lively spot exists in an otherwise tame area.

La Med does a serious takeout operation, but the Noe location is a good option if you actually want a place to sit and eat as well.
