I've been on the hunt for the best restaurants in SF. Here's my faves so far. http://originalcynk.com/2010/04/05/top-10-fave-restaurants-in-san-francisco/
cyn k: you have to get the omakase nigiri at the sushi bar. this is the best sushi in the country! especially if you're lucky enough to be served by nori-san.
Restaurant éthiopien · Lower Haight · 25 conseils et avis
cyn k: get the veggie platter, which is the quintessential large plate of injera covered with several veggie options. if you're extra hungry, add the tibsi fish. i also get steamed milk with honey.
Restaurant italien · Fairmount · 76 conseils et avis
cyn k: Imagine the most tender octopus in an italian mole-like stew. Combine that with delish pasta, meat plates, and incredibly kind service- win win win.
Restaurant de fruits de mer · Marinship · 220 conseils et avis
cyn k: great sustainable fish dishes. recs: saigon sandwich but as a salad, burger, red or white clam chowder. their specials and desserts are amazing too.
Restaurant servant du shabu-shabu · Inner Richmond · 43 conseils et avis
cyn k: you can't go wrong with the shabu here! get the large plate, with half beef and half lamb (i ask for extra lean, but doesn't seem that different). spicy miso broth and red bean ice cream ftw.
cyn k: fresh homemade bread from scratch. they sell out, so aim to get there around lunchtime for the best selection. their basic whole wheat and sticky buns are fantastic.
525 Commercial St (at Sansome St), San Francisco, CA
Restaurant de burritos · Financial District · 64 conseils et avis
cyn k: best breakfast burrito, hands down. i recommend the plain egg with beans on whole wheat tortilla, and 3 salsa cups for 2 cups of casera and 1 cup of something different (mango salsa?).
Restaurant mexicain · Downtown Santa Cruz · 5 conseils et avis
cyn k: get a patcharela, with green or red sauce and several toppings. i love their eggs, fresh pico de gallo, with beans. their chicken and potatoes are amazing too.
Restaurant américain · Presidio National Park · 94 conseils et avis
cyn k: it's not on the menu, but get the foie gras! since it's federal land, they're not prevented from serving it. the meatloaf, kale salad, ane beignets are also delish.
Restaurant latino-américain · Downtown San Rafael · 259 conseils et avis
cyn k: the chicken salad is amazing. the small has one piece, the large has two pieces. they have multiple locations too, so if one's too crowded, check out the others.
