Fisherman's Wharf is synonymous with Dungeness crab; the sweet crustacean thrives in San Francisco's cold Pacific waters. Located on the waterfront near North Beach, Fisherman's Wharf features clam chowder in sourdough bowls from street vendors to classic San Francisco seafood restaurants with stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the steady flow of fishing boats. With a long history of Italian-American fisherman, restaurants in Fisherman's Wharf have a decidedly Italian slant. A San Francisco institution, Alioto's serves Sicilian style food and A. Sabellas has been serving Italian seafood, pasta and postcard perfect views for over 82 years. Popular with tourists and San Francisco locals wanting a change from the downtown and neighborhood restaurant scenes, Fisherman's Wharf is one of San Francisco's most popular dining destinations.

Greens Front Counter
Fort Mason, Building A. Tel. 415.771.6330
$. While the restaurant proper at this gorgeous bayview location inside historic Fort Mason has become justly famous for serving cutting-edge vegetarian fare prepared by kung fu-trained monks, most people walk right past the pastry and coffee counter up front to hustle to their seats, and that's too bad. With a great selection of baked goods, caffeinated beverages and the expected Odwalla juices, Greens' counter is the ideal place to fuel up before or Fort Mason events. And though sitting inside with your goodies isn't really an option, who needs to when surrounded by Fort Mason's spectacular vistas? Cradling a cup of coffee while watching a gigantic cargo ship slide past Alcatraz sounds like my idea of heaven. |
