Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in The Infatuation. Updated August 2026.
Kokkari Estiatorio · Financial District
The Infatuation. A Financial District and citywide classic, a Greek dining room the guide calls most charming at night.
Milos Meze · Marina
The Infatuation. A Marina taverna that excels at the basics: juicy oregano lamb chops, bubbling saganaki, and souvlaki the guide ranks among the city's best.
Kitchen Istanbul · Richmond
The Infatuation. A Richmond District Turkish room. Juicy lamb chops dressed in Point Reyes blue cheese and tomato confit, and a havuc tarator the guide says is creamy enough to double as a face moisturizer.
Taksim · SoMa
The Infatuation. An upscale Turkish restaurant near the ballpark built around a wood-fired oven. Golden branzino balanced with salty sea beans, and king shrimp wrapped in shredded kadaif over pomegranate molasses.
Dalida Restaurant · Presidio
The Infatuation. A showy Presidio dining room in a historic brick building leaning into Turkish and Greek dishes: pillowy pita with tangy labneh, and crispy tahdig piled with trout roe. The guide notes the food can be hit-or-miss but says the atmosphere and cocktails make up for an off night.
