FOOdIES Amuse-bouches at Coi FOOD TIPS San Francisco is known for its abundance of amazing eateries, making it easy to find a spot for a memorable bite. Here are a few suggestions, from full-course meals to quick snacks. Michelin-Starred The city’s buzzy dining scene is one of the hottest in the world, and things heat up even more when a restaurant receives a coveted Michelin star. Expect lines out the door (but food that’s worth the wait) or plan on making reservations well in advance. San Francisco can proudly claim a constellation of star-rated restaurants, including Coi, a modern seafood restaurant in North Beach that’s been given a three-star rating. Other stellar examples are Rich Table in Hayes Courtesy of Coi; Courtesy of Commonwealth SAN FRANCISCO Valley, which serves New California cuisine in a rustic farmhouse setting. The menu integrates a bevy of global influences — think seared pierogies and mango lassi. Over in the Mission, Commonwealth donates a portion of its profits from each night’s six-course tasting menu (you can also order items à la carte). Find Quince in the Jackson Square neighborhood, where chef Michael Tusk celebrates the seasonal bounty of Northern California with two nightly tasting menus and an innovative wine-pairing program. The Western Addition is where The Progress makes its home. A prix-fixe menu starts with snacks and continues to family-style dining that might include rabbit with a smoked prune romesco. At SoMa’s Luce , innovative modern American cuisine is prepared with a global inspiration, ranging from king salmon confit to Pacific halibut poached in California olive oil. The Mission’s Lazy Bear provides one of the city’s most unique dining experiences: diners sit at two long tables and are served a wave of dishes prepared in an open kitchen. Another Mission winner is Californios , where you can enjoy contemporary Mexican dishes such as a spicy flauta filled with duck barbacoa. Commonwealth 26 . sftravel.com
