Cuisine Amériques - Caraïbes The United States Of America

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

We've fallen in love with this magnificent establishment adjoining the Hollywood Historic Hotel, in the Melrose Hill district. Superb wood and marble bar, red brick walls, hushed atmosphere... The decor is simply stunning. If you can, come between 4pm and 7pm: you'll be able to enjoyHappy Hour, both on a selection of drinks and plates to share. We particularly recommend the charcuterie and cheese board, the house burger and the Mac and Cheese. If you want to enjoy the view, take a seat at the counter.

We don't come here for the charm of the establishment or its refined cuisine, but for its good value, its authenticity and above all its location: Hustle Bustle Cafe is the ideal place to have lunch if you're spending the day west of Tucson. It's a 5-minute drive from Old Tucson Studios, 10 minutes from the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and 15 minutes from Saguaro National Park. The menu features classic American dishes, such as burgers and chicken tenders.

If you're looking for ambiance, come to Chingada Cocina Mexicana on Wednesdays, Thursdays or Sundays, between 6pm and 9pm. Choose from romantic serenades, acoustic guitar and mariachi. All this while savoring tasty, hearty cuisine, from traditional tamales to Mexican-style salmon and shrimp and garlic pasta. If you're on a budget, opt for the delicious tacos, whose tortilla is particularly good.

A hushed atmosphere and jazzy music for this restaurant that puts meat in the spotlight. Cooked over a wood fire, meat lovers are in for a treat. The menus change every day, and are based on top-of-the-range products purchased from local suppliers. Nothing comes from far away, thanks to a network of producers, artisans, breeders, bakers, etc., united by a common ethic of respect for the environment and sustainable practices. Vegetarians will also find plenty to satiate their appetites. The selection of Vermont cheeses is well worth the detour.

Just a stone's throw from the beach, this small establishment serves only poke, Hawaiian specialties that are as fresh as they are tasty. You can choose from two varieties of fish that change daily, ranging from spicy salmon to soy tuna, sesame octopus and kimchi shrimp. It's Raw Poke Shop also offers good lunch alternatives such as kalua pork, another Hawaiian dish not to be missed. All in all, it's a quality caterer, whose preparations are particularly suitable for a picnic on the sand.

On this busy pedestrian street with its many restaurants, Havana Grill doesn't fall on deaf ears. Because before it tickles your taste buds, it's the Latino music that gets it noticed. Start by savouring the cocktails, while ordering something to nibble on: ceviche, for example, accompanied by banana chips. Then you'll be tempted by the meat, and what a meat it is! Tender, tasty and served with a few plantains (the famous platanos machos). You'll also find rum, pisco...

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...

Right from the front door, this saloon takes visitors back over a century, to the days of cowboys and the gold rush. Once you've managed to ignore the presence of the many other customers and the "Disneyland" feel they convey, you're fully immersed in the friendly atmosphere. If you don't come here for the finesse of the cuisine, the service is charming and the premises unique, the building being originally that of the Grand Hotel, built in 1881. Be sure to read the story written on the menu.

With its warm, pleasant atmosphere, this charming café has established itself as a benchmark in a less lively neighborhood. The small menu focuses on brunch, with specialties such as homemade American scones with cheddar and jalapeño served with sausage gravy and fresh, fragrantavocado toast. Above all, the burger is absolutely delicious, prepared with wagyu, caramelized onions and cheddar. A seemingly simple combination, but one that will stay with you for a long time.

In Rockport, you won't find better! It's undoubtedly one of the best addresses in the area. Open all year round, Feather & Wedge enjoys a solid reputation. Reservations are highly recommended, as the restaurant is so coveted for its warm, contemporary setting and Mediterranean-inspired bistronomic cuisine. The menu changes with the seasons, and products are carefully selected. Musical program on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Good deal: oysters are US$1.50 on Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:30 pm.

It's the wine cellar of Sonoma Valley wineries that don't have the infrastructure to accommodate their customers. The wines on offer are organic or natural, but not exclusively so. The interior room and patio are rather basic, with wood, simple lighting and a shade sail outside, but pleasant. The cuisine is Mediterranean-inspired, using seasonal vegetables from the region. We recommend the spicy eggs with basil and the chicken with broccoli. For wine, Ashanta and Source & Sink are not bad!

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.

Founded in 2013, this small chain also located in the Arcadia neighborhood and Scottsdale is a good alternative to the Mexican and Italian cuisine in vogue nearby. Above all, it's an opportunity to access healthy, vegetarian and tasty options, like the Heirloom Brown Rice Bowl. It's made with sorrel pesto, kale, sweet potatoes, feta, pickled mushrooms, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, a soft-boiled egg, brown rice and dill. Delicious! Also note that Ingo serves breakfast around the clock.

Away from the Strip, in East Vegas, you'll find this small and confidential address. Filet mignon, pork chops, chicken ballotins, sea bass, squid ink pasta served with bacon, fish roe and parmesan cheese... In a subdued atmosphere where the waiters are dressed as in the prohibition era, you can enjoy American-style grilled meats and seafood dishes. Nevertheless, the Cleaver also lends itself to excellent cocktails in the early evening, before leaving to conquer the city's casinos.

This is a typically American restaurant and ideal for fast food or take-out. Nielsen's Delicatessen is one of those culinary experiments born of European immigration to the United States, found all over the country and famously in New York, and Nielsen's is a Danish delicatessen. The deli usually serves turkey, chicken, tuna sandwiches, topped with tomatoes, lettuce, onions, etc. Classic deli items are corn beef, coleslaw, and don't forget the pickles!

It is said that Houston marks the beginning of Cajun Country, or the Cajun region, culturally more associated with the state of Louisiana. One of its great classics is the Po'Boy Sandwich, short for "poor boy sandwich". Born in New Orleans, this sandwich contains typical Cajun ingredients such as fried catfish, shrimp or crab, and in some restaurants even fried alligator! A good place to experience the culinary culture of the American South.

Why closed on Saturdays? Because it is a restaurant run by a family of Greek, Orthodox origin. It is important to note this because when you are in the United States, you will see how "American" it is to come from all over the world. The Cleburne Cafeteria is typically "American" in the style of a canteen-restaurant where you stand in line and they serve you what you want on a platter. All the Southern classics are there: hushpuppies, fried catfish, cornbread, etc. Of course, endless refills are included!

Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, has no shortage of experiences that take you beyond its borders. If you want to experience a 100% Mexican trip, then head to Dona María for breakfast or brunch! "Huevos con chicarron" (eggs with pork skin), bacon or chorizo tacos... you will find great classics of Mexican cuisine in all simplicity. The menu is in Spanish, and you're sure to hear customers speaking Spanish, the second most spoken language in Texas.
