True foodies will know that San Francisco seriously takes the cake for best eats in the whole entire world. I beg anyone to argue with me on that. Not only is the city's cultural diversity responsible for birthing amazing "California-inspired" concoctions, nor can we give all the credit of freshness to Alice Waters, but every neighborhood hides a gem of a restaurant with food that will knock your socks off.
First and foremost, avoid Fisherman's Wharf, unless you absolutely must have Dungeness crab and Sourdough bread bowls. Then fine. Do it. Bring a sweatshirt. But all those restaurants do not a foodie inspire. Instead, head for Sushi Zone around 4:30, wait in line, bring a book, prepare to be hungry until you can get a table, and then order massive amounts of sushi, particularly anything with mango or macadamia nuts, and die and go to heaven.
For breakfast the next morning, walk off all that sushi and head to La Boulangerie in Pacific Heights, and order a berry tart, a chocolate croissant, and then grab a bag of palmiers to go. Eat. Enjoy. Repeat as often as you are in town.
For lunch, give a nod to Alice Waters and head to Fort Mason for Greens, a vegetarian-inspired organic restaurant. Not in the mood? Try Burmese food in the Richmond. Or Dim Sum in Chinatown. Or upscale Gary Danko. Or a Mission burrito.
Drooling yet? Acquerello for pasta. Rosemunde for sausage. Oh, and then head to the Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market for amazing samples and gourmet treats to take home with you. And go to Molinari's in North Beach. Frascati in Nob Hill...
I seriously could go on and on. But not one of those restaurants is short of amazing.
