San Francisco Restaurant Guide - Greek/Mediterranean Restaurants
|
|
|
The warm, sun-drenched countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea have some one of the world's healthiest diets; rich in seafood, olive oil and wine enjoyed over long evenings spent dining with friends and family. While the fog outside is the first hint that San Francisco is not Sicily or Greece in the summertime, San Francisco's Mediterranean restaurants and Greek restaurants capture the essence of Southern Europe. Garibaldi's in the chic Presidio Heights serves Mediterranean cuisine with a California twist (an effortless stretch of the imagination). On Union Square, Scala's Bistro covers the cuisines of Southern Spain, France and Italy and San Francisco's Paul K. restaurant in Hayes Valley gives Mediterranean cuisine a glamorous makeover.

2018 Lombard San Francisco CA 94123 (Marina District)
Popular and unpretentious, Alegrias ("Food from Spain") would be at home tucked away on some street in Barcelona. The hot and cold tapas are extraordinary and authentic, and the wine list features favorites from Spain.
|
905 California St., San Francisco CA 94110 (Nob Hill)
An intimate, Mediteranean-style Nob Hill restaurant with two towering European-style roasting ovens in full view of posh diners. The restaurant's vast wine cellar, stocked with world-class wines, is one of the Wine Spectator's San Francisco favorites. Fournou's Ovens, housed in Nob Hill's commanding Stanford Court hotel, also offers a conspicuously consumptive Champagne Brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.

1901 Hyde St., San Francisco CA 94109 (Russian Hill)
A Russian Hill neighborhood attraction, this is a cozy, high-end Mediterranean and Californian hybrid that just underwent a recent renovation and grabbed a new chef. But the service is still amazing and this Russian Hill restaurant is still full of locals.
|
347 Presidio, San Francisco CA 94109 (Presidio Heights)
Located in Presidio Heights, a residential neighborhood with dramatic old mansions, Garibaldi's is an upscale neighborhood restaurant. Garibaldi's specialized in martinis at the intimate bar and well-executed Californian and Mediterranean cuisine.
|
199 Gough (at Oak), San Francisco CA 94117 (Civic Center/Van Ness)
A low-key San Francisco restaurant with upscale cuisine, Paul K is a stylish yet approachable Hayes Valley and Civic Center restaurant serving exotic and modern renditions of Mediterranean classics. Homemade desserts are standouts.

432 Powell St., San Francisco CA 94102 (Downtown/Union Square)
Just a half a block from Union Square, Scala's Bistro is bustling with Old World ambiance, from original murals and a warm atmosphere done in deep, rich tones to a pan-Mediterranean menu. The open kitchen pours out aromas from Italy, Spain and France while the service is just as warm as the decor. After dinner, Harry Denton's Starlight Room is the place for a cocktail on the twenty-first floor of the Sir France Drake hotel overlooking downtown San Francisco's city lights. |
