Just a tad less luxurious than Nob Hill, Russian Hill has a slower pace than it's ritzy neighbor. Affluent and residential, and bordered by busy Van Ness Avenue and the Marina, Russian Hill is known for small and intimate neighborhood restaurants with a gourmand approach. Inviting and high end restaurants like Frascati serve eclectic fusion cuisine in a chic restaurant atmosphere, while upscale gems like La Folie serve classic French fare in a neighborhood setting. The popular Sushi Groove, a hip enclave of art, cocktails and excellent sushi, keeps the Russian Hill restaurant scene young and vibrant.

A specialty San Francisco restaurant, Hyde Street Seafood House & Raw Bar takes the French technique of baking in parchment paper, "En Papilotte," to a new level. More casual than its micro-cuisine might suggest, expect an expensive array of delectably baked textures and tastes.
