Tawla is an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant in the Mission serving truly excellent comfort food.

Some of the best Spanish food in town is at Bellota, at the bottom of the Airbnb building in Soma.

Rich Table is the neighborhood restaurant every neighborhood wishes they have. Lucky Hayes Valley

The seafood and vegetable-focused Mexican food at Cala is some of the best in San Francisco.

Yuzuki is one of the best restaurants in SF, operating somewhat under-the-radar. Get a reservation while you can.

Foreign Cinema in the Mission is a San Francisco classic for brunch, and dinner is solid too.

The Progress, on Fillmore, is a great time and a good scene, with excellent food.

An ambitious restaurant, and a good one at that. SPQR is making a run at the San Francisco pasta crown, mostly with ingredients we can't pronounce.

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

The plates at Al's Place in the Mission look like art, and taste pretty great too. "Best New Restaurant in the US 2015" ain't a bad calling card either.

Serious quality sushi, provided you're willing to pay. Akiko's Restaurant will even serve you up a baby barracuda.

Monsieur Benjamin is making French food cool again.
