We have a few of the family favorites listed, but it's time to start a Wish List for all the places we have yet to discover!
Starting with Cotogna; sure it's maybe just another trendy italian place, but we should definitely go inspect it d'un peu plus pres...
Next how about the Slanted Door? I've never been but I'm dying to try out that Asian fusion cuisine!
What would you like to see next on this Wish List?! Let us know and we'll put it up!

Numero 11 - Cafe Prague
Now I called Barbacco the "chic comfort food" place, but Cafe Prague really is the king of komfort foods!
Huge, hearty of sausage, mashed potatoes, beets, cabbage, pork in sauce and huuge beers. Oh my!
Welcome to Praha in SF, fun and so very European. Great chocolate desserts.
Come for the beer; stay for the menu (which you can already check out here!)

Numero 10 - Barbacco
This place has quite the food mixes!
Hot and spicy n'duja, savory calamari, great wines, what's not to love about this bustling Barbacco Trattoria?!
A modern Italian inspired cuisine, this is the ultimate chic comfort food :)
Don't mistake it for its neighbor Perbacco, also an Italian eatery! Yummy but not quite as charming.
Look it up!

Numero 9 - 5A5
This one is also a world in itself; fancy bar with trendy young adults, modern setting, sophisticated atmosphere and to die for food!
5A5 is a culinary experience, but beware! Vegetarians may have a hard time with this bad boy, it is indeed a Steak Lounge...
You absolutely MUST try their shishito peppers! Sin-worthy!
Find it here
Edit: went back 2 weekends ago... Mamma mia how fabulous is that dry-aged NY ribeye?! Unbeatable.
As usual the shishito peppers are fabulous, the wine delicious, and the conversation even better. A great time.

Numero 8 - Georges
This little place has some of the yummiest seafood I've had in a while!
A kind of French influence for Georges that works out very nicely.
The oysters are pearl-fect (hehe) and so is the rest of the menu. Sophisticated and fun, definitely worth it.

Numero 7 - Toast
Now this one is a bit further from our home base-walkable zone but I have such good memories of its hash browns that I couldn't resist putting it in...
Toast may seem like just a diner parmi tant d'autres, but ahh it has that little extra something that makes the food really worth it.
The milkshakes, the omelettes, the toast was all just right.

Numero 6 - Blanc et Rouge
This is little wine bar is such a treasure; sweet people and sweeter wines!
Great homemade snack foods, caring staff and friendly (probably because of the booze!) customers. A must "go-to" in SF's downtown/financial district.

Numero 5 - Yank Sing
Now this one breaks all records, it's not even in the record books because it is its own special category...
Yank Sing, mmh few things make me as happy as dim sum meal from what feels like my second home.
A family tradition for several years now, Yank Sing is one of the best trolley dim sum restaurant of our glorious city.
Don't even think about hesitating this place, just do it.

Numero 4 - La Mar
This is one is part of my personal top 5, the view is great and the food often so different and unexpected; La Mar, a delicious Peruvian restaurant right on the waterfront.
A different type of cuisine that feels yummy in my tummy :)

Numero 3 - Market Bar
Ah Market Bar!
Such a great location in the Ferry Building, the outside terrace is perfect for people watching, and they often have delicious soups.
Simple lunch menu, good bar, a neat place in the middle of bustling SF.

Numero 2 - Boccadillos
This is definitely a perfect place for walk abouts, it's all about shared tapas platters!
Boccadillos is a vibrant Spanish restaurant, always innovating and yummy. Sometimes a bit too loud but you could say it's just proof of its popularity.
Come take a peak at the menu here!

Numero 1 - Globe
First and foremost, probably a family favorite; Globe.
An exquisite and fashionable kitchen, with such friendly staff and customers. Late night hang out, amazing desserts and cocktails, nothing wrong about this joint.
If they're serving the baby brussel sprouts go for it! Golly they are to die for!
