Must Eat Foods In San Francisco And Where To Eat Them

Try one of the culinary world’s greatest treasures: dim sum. Dim sum literally means “to touch your heart” and refers to an assortment of Chinese delicacies - everything from steamed dumplings to buns. Try it at Lai Hong Lounge where you can get yummy large plates of Chinese fare and dim sum in a quaint eatery. The largely Chinese crowd attests to the authenticity of the food, which ranges from steamed pork buns and taro dumplings to crispy, golden pan-fried tofu. If you’re seeking things to do in San Francisco at night, head to the restaurant or order a takeout and tuck into some delicious food.

Head to Brenda’s for breakfast. Looking for hearty, delicious soul food cooked with lots of different spices? This is the spot for you. The crawfish beignets are my favorite thing here. The dish has a rich cheesy flavor with stuffed crawfish and covered in a Cajun spice. The fried chicken is also delicious, very flavourful and cooked to perfection. If meat isn’t your thing, try a yummy Brenda’s vegan sloppy joe; a must eat San Francisco for veggie lovers and vegans.

Limón Peruvian Rotisserie is a South American Restaurant in the Mission District specialising in Peruvian cuisine. Try the juicy ½ chicken with some yummy sweet potato fries. But you can also feast on Peruvian ceviche, paella and sip a tasty cocktail like a pisco sour or margarita. One of the best restaurants in San Francisco for rotisserie chicken, Limón Peruvian Rotisserie is worth a try if chicken slow roasted over an open flame with delicious sauce and yummy Peruvian sides like tacu tacu (rice and beans) is your thing.

Noodle lovers will want to head to Mensho Tokyo. Bringing in customers from everywhere, all day long, the spot is one of the most loved, best places to eat in San Francisco. Located in Japantown, and with another location downtown, their specialty is a green tea ramen bowl in which they sprinkle matcha powder on top of their ramen. The Japanese noodles are ever-evolving and see a different adaptation with many chefs adding some extra tasty features in order to really make it their own. Typically a steaming oily or creamy broth, the dish can be made with fresh mizuna, green onions, bamboo shoots, garlic, pepper and ginger, melt-in-your-mouth soft chashu or sliced, roasted pork, oil and juicy noodles. Mensho Tokyo have really put a twist on the dish so don’t miss it.

I’m well into my coffee shops, and luckily coffee shops are huge here; I’d say people go out to cafes, restaurants, and bars more than clubs, and with so many people working remotely these days it’s not much of a surprise that there are new coffee shops popping up all the time. San Francisco is known for great coffee, and the Mission district is a hub for some of the best local spots to get it. Stop in at Ritual Coffee for a cup of the good stuff, there are five locations around the city, with the Mission location near the intersection of 21st and Valencia. The cafe offers a variety of roasts for drip coffee, espresso drinks, as well as cold-brew on tap and nitro cold brew. Sit inside or outside and know that you are sipping a delicious, affordable coffee.
