Cuisine Amériques - Caraïbes San Francisco & Bay Area

Restaurant opened in 2012 by chefs Evan and Sarah Rich in a former renovated municipal hall, with exposed beams, wooden work plans and walls in cream tones. On the kitchen side, the ingredients are worked with simplicity, finesse and a hint of originality. Stroke for Mijotée pork chest (belly pork). Take several dishes and share them, this is the best way to explore the inventiveness of the menu. Taste the chips for sardines and cotta coconut coconut. The menu is constantly changing!

This restaurant on lively Polk Street is a fine Californian Mexican fusion address. We love the stylish, colorful setting and the creative cocktails. Its affordable menu features tacos, house-made antojitos (fried Mexican corn tortilla with chili sauce), soups, salads, burritos and fusion dishes. Very appetizing! You can opt for an assortment of tacos (formula of 2 or 3 tacos) to sample everything. Special mention for the braised pork in banana leaves with red onion, cilantro, lime and habanero.

Located upstairs in the Ferry Building, this new restaurant offers Jamaican flavors not so common on the streets of San Francisco. There aren't many dishes on the menu, but they're all delicious, fresh and full of flavor. Starting with the legendary jerk chicken, a braised chicken with a bouquet of 100% Jamaican spices. Of course, there are "patties", meat and vegetable fritters served with fried plantains. But there are also tasty vegetarian ital dishes from the Rasta culture. For a drink, try Jamaican hibiscus

The Argonaut hotel has opened a very nice restaurant with a marine atmosphere, between woodwork and ropes on a brick background. And of course, at the Blue Mermaid they serve seafood: steamed mussels, crab and squid casserole, fish and chips... The selection of wines, beers and cocktails is also up to par. Enough to enjoy with friends or in gallant company before continuing your walk on Fisherman's Wharf. That said, we don't guarantee that you will walk lightly...

This California-based Thai cuisine brand has several restaurants in the state (including one in San Francisco). The Berkeley address is particularly elegant, with Asian-design furniture focusing on wood. On the menu, you'll find daring and delicious proposals: for starters, tom yum granita; for main courses, crab pad thai, beef with yellow coconut curry, volcano cup noodle with braised pork... All accompanied by equally refined creative cocktails.

A quintessential Californian address that only exists in Oakland, with character. Serving both fine cocktails and Mexican-influenced gourmet plates. It's a busy restaurant by day and a lively bar by night. We love the floor, the refreshing chick-yellow and water-green colors, and the sunny bay windows. The à la carte menu features simple, affordable dishes, with veggy, vegan and gluten-free options, prepared with a variety of toppings (seeds, etc.). Brunch at weekends.
