Local Bites: where to eat and drink in San Francisco
04.03.2024 - 22:49 / lonelyplanet.com
San Francisco has long been a food city, once having had the highest restaurant density in the country. The pandemic upended the industry, and combined with the rising costs of Bay Area living, many beloved restaurants closed or moved to cheaper neighboring cities. However, the SF food scene is still kicking – even optimistic – and new restaurants are opening all the time.
With no shortage of SF classics like seasonal, sweet Dungeness crab and flaky morning buns, the local food landscape has welcomed new Bay Area classics like Singaporean food pop-ups, coffee from even more parts of the world and the emergence of third-culture cooking, which combines food elements of a chef’s upbringing. Look increasingly to residential neighborhoods for some of the best local bites in the city.
Here's our guide to San Francisco's best dining, meal by meal.
Chinese-Filipino restaurant Super Star in the southeast residential Excelsior neighborhood serves up giant, cheap silogs (Filipino breakfasts with protein, garlic rice, egg and usually tomato). Try the popular breaded-and-fried Hong Kong pork chop, which isn’t common at other Filipino restaurants. Super Star is cash only and budget friendly at $5.50–8.75 per plate. Call in ahead of time if you can, or wait up to 15 minutes. It’s takeout, so eat in your car (if you have one), or walk 1.5 blocks southeast to the beautiful tiled Kenny Alley Stairs to eat.
Walk two minutes south on Mission Street for the fresh farmers cheese, black beans and fried plantains that accompany many of Cafe Guatemalteco's eggy breakfasts. There are cozy tables where you can sit and enjoy a filling start to the day. For an SF breakfast classic, try the coiled, cinnamon-flecked, flaky morning buns at one of Tartine’s or Ariscault’s locations. Or just drive 15 minutes south to the beach town of Pacifica for Rosalind Bakery’s version of the pastry, plus a smashing Coastside Sourdough. If you have time, take the ferry to Treasure Island for a garden brunch at Aracely Cafe, which was, for a time, the only restaurant on the quickly developing artificial island.
The Yemeni coffee scene in SF is booming, with warm cardamom and ginger flavors found at Delah Coffee and Sana’a Cafe in SoMa, and Haraz Coffee House in Cathedral Hill. Don’t pass up the pastries, which are often laden with pistachio or honey. Jina Bakes in Japantown has a small, but interesting coffee menu, including an orange foam latte and a toffee latte topped with chunks of house-made honeycomb to complement the line-worthy Korean-Japanese-French pastries, like the croissant served with rich kalbijjim (Korean short rib beef stew), which is made by restaurant neighbor Daeho.

Two Top Hotels In Bangkok, Where Tourism Is Skyrocketing
The global post-lockdown travel boom has continued year after year with no slowdown in sight, but even by these standards Thailand’s capital is ultra-popular. Bangkok has never been hotter, and last year made travel industry headlines when a Mastercard report named it the most visited city in the world for 2023. This is a distinction a few places claim, and the numbers often conflict, but there’s no doubt that Bangkok is near the top of all cities on earth in popularity, is getting more U.S. travelers than ever, and is both a destination in its own right, the gateway to the rest of Thailand, and a major gateway to the entire Pacific Rim. When I visited the Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel before the pandemic, I loved it. But when I returned at the end of 2023, it was even better.
