Zuni Cafe opened in San Francisco on February 15, 1979. Zuni Cafe won the James Beard Foundation Award for 'Outstanding Restaurant' in 2003 and 'Outstanding Service' in 2018.
Besides "the" chicken, Zuni's burger, Caesar salad, and bloody mary have all been called the best in the city at various points in the restaurant’s illustrious, 40-plus-year career. Sitting on the edge of Hayes Valley, it’s the utility belt of San Francisco restaurants: good for brunch, for late-night dining, for oysters and a cocktail at the bar, or for a lovely sit-down meal with a date.
If there is one dish every San Franciscan must eat, it might be Zuni’s famous chicken for two that’s roasted in the wood-fired brick oven and served with a warm bread salad.
For the first time in the restaurant’s storied history, Zuni is now serving takeout — and is the first restaurant in the city to switch over to all reusable takeout containers.

Another Personal Favorite SF Restaurant:
Craftsman wood finishes, an enclosed front patio with natural light, and a menu of excellent cocktails from Justin Lew and Ian Scalzo (alums of SF’s Future Bars group) give this neighborhood bar extra charm. The food menu is filled with low-key comfort food items like pulled pork tacos and fried chicken, balanced with lighter dishes like halibut ceviche and a tuna poke bowl. Plus it’s open late, with food available til 1 a.m. — a true gem in this sleepy town.

It wouldn’t be San Francisco without the Mission’s squadron of high-quality taquerias, none better or more famous than this one. Known, in part, for long lines at all times of day, even during the pandemic, La Taq built up an unwaveringly loyal fan base even before it landed its America's Best Burrito title. The carnitas and carne asada are some of the best around; the tacos come wonderfully overloaded; and those burritos, famously, are served without rice so there’s no carb overload to distract from the quality of the meats.

This busy, colorful oasis in the Mission with craft cocktails and inventive Mexican dishes is always a great choice. Not only does it have a version of queso — a surprisingly elusive dip in SF — but its taco options are on point with fillings like panko-crusted shrimp, fish, and grilled steak. Loló has an extensive takeout menu featuring more portable offerings than the restaurant’s usual sleek small plates — think burritos stuffed with birria or cochinita pibil. It’s also selling cocktails, michelada kits, and meal kits for, say, making your own carnitas at home.

An excellent bar in Hayes Valley, Brass Tacks is good to keep on your radar for many situations: post-work drink with the team, glass of wine with a girlfriend, or solo beer with your trusty dachshund Colonel Mustard. The space is small but never too slammed and the cocktails are excellent. Being dog-friendly is a plus, and the prime Hayes location is the kicker.

The bar doubles as an exhibit space for an ever-changing display of paintings, photographs, sculptures and more, and while one night may include sketching nude models to live Punk-Blues, another may focus entirely on DJ-spun Motown tunes.

Baker Beach is a public beach on the peninsula of San Francisco, California. The beach lies on the shore of the Pacific Ocean in the northwest of the city. It is roughly half a mile long, beginning just south of Golden Gate Point (where the Golden Gate Bridge connects with the peninsula), extending southward toward the Seacliff peninsula, the Palace of the Legion of Honor and the Sutro Baths. The northern section of Baker Beach is clothing-optional and as such it is considered a nude beach.
