Chez Panisse is where farm to table food movement first started. It's famous and you need to make reservation at least a few weeks ahead of time, but it's worth the efforts! They also have lunch as well and a table for lunch isn't as difficult to get, I hightly recommend it.

Our favorite Spanish Tapas place! The paella is a MUST to order here, take 20 mins but worth the wait! The restaurant doesn't take any reservations, walk-in only. Bar tables or community tables are more flexible when it's busy.

If you visit San Francisco, this spot is a must hit. Reservations are hard to get though, normally booked up a month ahead of time, however there's a secret: walk in at 5:00PM to put down your name, you will get a table at 6:00PM at the bar. The pork chop is my all time favorite!

We had perhaps one of the best meals at One65. It’s definitely for very special occasions, offers one of a kind dining experience. Mind you it’s pricy, set menu for either 5 courses or 9 courses; but the food - were some of the most memorable bites I have ever had. In the end the hostess brought a desert cart with hundreds beautiful desert for you to choose… the wagyu beef from Japan was definitely the best steak I have ever had… worth it if you are treating a very special person!

We went to La Marcha originally because it was one of the Michelin recommended restaurants in the area. Food there never disappoints! Every little dish could be easily the best bite in its category. Best to make a reservation especially if you are going on weekends.

Market + Food
Market Hall is a massive market that offers a bakery, coffee, inported goods, butchers, sea food market, floral shops, cooked food counter - all are amazing. The chocolate cake at the Bakery is our all time favorite. There are many restaurants and boutique shops right around the market, it's a good area to spend a lazy sunday morning - brunch, coffee, then stroll around shopping.
