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.

We can always rely on Cotogna in the Financial District for an excellent upscale Italian meal.

On average, the best bread bakery in the country can be found at Tartine Bakery in the Mission.

Tartine Manufactory in the Mission is a huge operation with excellent pastries, coffee, and ice cream, and dinner as well.

You don't need us to tell you that Swan Oyster Depot is great. But we're going to anyway.

Hog Island Oyster Bar gives spectacular view and dripping fresh seafood.

Pita-wrapped meats find their Elysium at Souvla in Hayes Valley. Zeus would be proud.

Taqueria Cancún is the most dependable burrito joint in town.

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

An oasis in San Francisco's barren desert of BBQ. Enjoy it in daytime, in sunlight, with a beer, on the patio.

Saigon Sandwich's Sandwiches are under $4 and pack more punch than most of the city's pricier offerings. The best cheap lunch in the game.

Deli Board makes absurd, over-the-top sandwiches that do exactly what you want them to.

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.

Nourish Cafe is a neighborhood spot in the Inner Richmond that also happens to be good for you.

B. Patisserie is another notch in the SF bakery belt.
