TOP 13 SF

olivier PEYRE: You think you've tried the best pasta and pizza already? Think again. My favorite time to go? Sunday night after 9PM, to avoid the long (impossible) wait. Tasting menu and playlist change every day.

olivier PEYRE: Modern Italian in North Beach. Every meal I've had there (including brunch) was a treat for the eyes and mouth. And they offer lovely sidewalk seating.

olivier PEYRE: The original Mission Chinese. The decor is absurd and the vibe is Blade Runner meets hole in the wall dumpling place. Always easier to get a table around 9. Try the wings, if you can handle the 🔥

olivier PEYRE: Best brunch in town. Try to sit outside. And share a fruit plate and tartan combo.

olivier PEYRE: Clean, beautifully executed seafood and crudos.

olivier PEYRE: Each one of their cakes belongs in the SF MoMA

olivier PEYRE: Fancy fancy modern Mexican in gorgeous environment.

olivier PEYRE: Vegetarian food can be super exciting. Voted one of the Top 5 new restaurants in America by Bon Appetite in 2016 I believe. They always look full but you can get a table around 9PM pretty easily.

olivier PEYRE: You will feel transported in Kyoto. Try their Katsu with melted cheese in the middle and their Udon Carbonara. Everything else is amazing.

olivier PEYRE: BONUS, BC IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A TABLE ANYWAY: New American goes dim-sum style. Tip: book a late PM table at the sister restaurant next door The Progress and ask if they have room at State Bird.
