The pride of Inner Richmond's lively dine and wine scene, Cork's is the invention of James Beard awardee and Michelin star Chef Antonio Mure. He is pretty much revered for his modern adaptations of traditional Italian fare that come infused with the elements of the Spanish concept known as Tapas. He heads the sleek open-air kitchen of the restaurant and along with his team of creative culinary minds creates masterpieces such as the signature Red Beet Pasta, Proscuitto y Burrata, and Dolci del Giorno. The specialities are at their dynamic best when they are paired with the likes of a Toscana or a Gelso Nero from the bar.
A cozy place run by a mother-and-daughter duo of Burmese heritage, Burmatown serves the quintessential home-cooked meal with authentic ingredients with the option to adjust the spiciness to suit individual preferences. The homemade hot sauce that is served as a side for those who opt for hot spicy food has a citrusy tinge that balances out the heat. Whether it is Garlic Noodles, Coconut Chicken Curry, Short Rib or Miso Black Cod, each dish is packed with flavors and perfectly cooked and presented. The Tea Leaf Salad is a unique dish where the textures, flavors and taste come together in perfect harmony. If that is not your cup of tea, there is plenty more to choose from - Kimchi potstickers, Nori drizzled french fries or crispy fried angel wings. Apart from noodles, flavorful rice is served in three varieties, Jasmine, brown or coconut to go with the beef, pork or shrimp of choice.
Serving food from Northern Italy in winter and moving down south along the coast for spring and summer meals, AltoVino gives diners a taste of the cuisine from several regions of the country, pairing the food with selected wines from the alpine and volcanic slopes of Italy. From stuzzichino to dolci, the food is divine, be it the pappardelle pasta, the butternut squash ravioli with hazelnuts or the chicken liver pate crostini and every morsel is relished. The pistachio gelato or the buttermilk panna cotta are the choices for the sweet tooth apart from the perennial favorite - the chocolate caramel budino.
Les vitraux colorés au second étage du Vesuvio assurent une vue inégalée sur l'effervescente intersection de Broadway et de Columbus Avenue. Les clients souhaitent s'installer là où autrefois Kerouac et d'autres artistes contestataires venaient pour ressentir l'écho de l'histoire de la littérature des années 50. Aussi coloré que le décor, l'ambiance peut être décrite comme étant fantaisiste et inspirante, avec de vieux classiques en musique de fond et des murs aux allures artistiques qui ajoutent plus de charme à l'intérieur. Vous trouverez habituellement un mélange d'écrivains, d'artistes et de touristes se relaxant autour d'un breuvage. C'est une bonne adresse pour s'éterniser autour d'un verre tout en s'imprégnant du charme éclectique et amical de cet endroit.
This historic bar is full of stories, character, and charm. Once a place Jack London himself would frequent to drink and write, the story is that the famous author borrowed his college entrance fee from the bar's proprietor. The small bar still features a slanted wooden floor and charred walls leftover from the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906, which took its toll elsewhere in the Bay Area, too. Its name derives from the old days when it was the only bar at the Port of Oakland. Each day, as laborers would take the ferry to San Francisco and back again, this was the first and last chance for the working man to grab a drink. The bar serves only beverages and distributes literature on its history.
Situé dans le Ferry Building Marketplace, une visite à Hog Island Oyster Bar est une bonne façon de débuter son aventure à San Francisco. Le restaurant appartient à Hog Island Oyster Farm, qui cultive les huîtres dans la baie de Tomales. Créée en 1983, la société produit aujourd'hui plus de trois millions d'huîtres par an. L'environnement informel du restaurant, situé à quelques pas d'une poissonnerie au détail, assure une magnifique vue sur le Bay Bridge. Arrêtez-vous et prenez un verre de vin et dévorez autant que vous pouvez de nombreuses huîtres. Le menu propose aussi des palourdes et des salades, mais l'attrait principal ici est le ragoût d'huîtres, la soupe et le sandwich au fromage grillé! Vérifiez pour les spécialités du jour avant de commander. Le restaurant offre aussi une petite quantité d'huîtres non écossées pour emporter, mais vous devez les commander trois jours avant.
