San Francisco Restaurant Guide - Cole Valley/Haight Restaurants
|
|
|
San Francisco's Haight District is most notable for revolutionary thinking, not necessarily revolutionary cuisine—who needs food when you have love? Small, affordable and universally approachable restaurants populate the Haight Street dining scene, including Cha Cha Cha's for sangria and tapas in a lively Mexican-themed dining room and Askew for delectable vegan and meat-friendly skewers. Just a few blocks over from Haight Street, Cole Valley is a mature, grown-up Haight Street with expensive rents and the delectable Eos restaurant, a delightful Asian fusion Cole Valley restaurant with an intimate neighborhood feel and an extensive wine and sake list.
901 Cole (at Carl), San Francisco CA 94114
Asian Fusion. Named for the Greek goddess of the Dawn, Eos embraces the spirit of wine and sake as the great rejuvenators with an extensive wine and sake list and a menu boasting eclectic dishes meant for sharing and pairing. Open nightly, Eos is an intimate space with rotating art on the walls and a neighborhood hub in the Haight and Cole neighborhoods.
