RIO CITY CAFÉ
Read moreA plus for this restaurant's location in the heart of Old Sacramento, with a lovely sunny terrace facing the yellow bridge over the river. The view is amazing and the prices very affordable. The sandwiches are hearty and accompanied by homemade chips. There are also great salads, and American classics like the lobster mac & cheese, a perfect blend of flavors. A special weekend brunch is also available, at a slightly higher price but with excellent quality. Inside, the decor is simple, but you'll come for the view.
BROKEN ENGLISH TACO PUB
Read moreIt's hard to miss the fluorescent graffiti that covers the front of this Mexican taco restaurant. Once inside, the decor does not disappoint and goes hand in hand with the exterior. Here, the tacos take center stage: with fish, vegetables or meat... A dozen varieties are offered, so don't hesitate to order an assortment to taste as many as possible! They are all delicious and at affordable prices. There is a cocktail bar upstairs and an outdoor patio, perfect for the nice days.
EVELEIGH
Read moreA heartbeat for this Australian address west of the Sunset Boulevard. Eveleigh occupies a building dating back to 1923, which is ideal for the most charming stopover, with its rustic interior, breathtaking views and aromatic aromatic herbs. The place is unanimous for brunches on the weekend.
TACOLICIOUS
Read moreIf you want to try a gourmet version of tacos, with original compositions, this is the place to stop. From a simple street stand, Tacolicious has become one of the most respected names in the Bay Area, with three restaurants in SF and one in Palo Alto. Its success is guaranteed by a simple but original menu, and a brunch that is always besieged by lovers of huevos divorciados. No burritos ("too Tex-Mex" according to the owner), but chorizo, fish and chicken tacos!
ZEPHYR COVE RESTAURANT
Read moreA stone's throw from a beautiful but often crowded beach in the summer, the establishment offers all-day dining in a rustic, mountainous atmosphere with logs and wooden floors (if you'd forgotten that Lake Tahoe is a - very large - mountain lake at almost 2,000 meters above sea level, the reminder is ever-present). The service is quick and attentive, however. The food is hearty and of good quality, with mostly American specialties on the menu. A good place to take a long break.
BRENDA'S FRENCH SOUL FOOD
Read moreWe love Brenda for its hearty breakfasts and brunches, its casual atmosphere and its cuisine straight from New Orleans! A pleasant restaurant with a pretty red facade, where as soon as you enter, you note your name on a big slate in order to be placed. Here, no reservations. The wait is sometimes a bit long on weekends, so go there during the week. Try the delicious crawfish beignets, the cornmeal-fried shrimps with chipotle or the huge French toasts.
SEPIA
Read moreHoused in a former printing works, this restaurant offers an elegant, refined setting to match its Michelin-starred cuisine. Chef Andrew Zimmerman offers contemporary American cuisine based on local produce, with international touches. The menu changes with the seasons, and you're always pleasantly surprised. No wonder Michelle Obama is a regular. The owner, Emmanuel Nony, a Frenchman who has lived in Chicago for many years, will be happy to tell you a few anecdotes.
THE KITCHEN
Read moreFor this culinary experience, the restaurant asks that you reserve 4 hours of your evening - one-time service. Enjoy this immersion in new American cuisine. At the helm are Kelly McCown and Randall Selland, who create five-course menus each month based on seasonal produce and inspiration. The mastery of Californian terroir is perfect here, as is the mastery of Japanese cuisine, which often adds a little kick to the menu. A great team accompanies the chefs and assures you to spend an unforgettable moment.
CHA CHA CHA
Read moreA very nice restaurant, just like the neighborhood. The setting is warm and colorful, with walls lined with Virgins and cult objects of all kinds. The Caribbean cuisine will excite your senses. Try the Cha-Cha-Cha steak sandwich at lunch and splurge on the tapas. The side dishes are also delicious: plantains, tortillas, aioli... Be careful, in the evening, no reservation is possible, you will have to wait at the bar for at least one hour (especially on weekends). While waiting for a place to be freed, enjoy the sangria which flows here in flood!
TRIPLE GEORGE GRILL
Read moreTriple George is the casual grill for the chic residents of Las Vegas, and has been for decades; the black and white photos on the walls attest to this. In a nice authentic setting, you sit in a wooden booth or at the big circular bar to eat good pieces of meat. One of the best restaurants in Downtown, we recommend you come at lunchtime rather than in the evening: the prices are much more affordable and the menu offers more choices, among which is a large selection of appetizing burgers.
BOUDIN BAKERY
Read moreBoudin (pronounced "boudine") is a true San Francisco institution. You can taste the famous clam chowder, a creamy clam soup served in a ball ofsourdough bread. The place has certainly become touristy, but it is one of the must-sees of your visit to Fisherman's Wharf. Even though it may seem industrial in terms of the flow, you can feel that everything is fresh. And delicious. There is also a free museum. It's that the origin of the business goes back 160 years!
SONORATOWN
Read moreA more Mexican restaurant? Do you misunderstand! In this small shop there is a kitchen in northern Mexico, different from the rest of the country. The tortilla is made from flour (not maize) and is very fine, and there is also a certain resemblance to the French pancakes. The leaders of the Sonora region are also known to cook the country's best asada meat. It can be said that reputation is respected with meat cooked with a delicious wood fire. For a first one we recommend the very tempting Bean & Cheese Burrito. A superb address for a quick lunch in a family atmosphere.
MUSSO & FRANK GRILL
Read moreThe kitchen isn't what distinguishes this restaurant from the gastronomic stage in L.A. It is a mixture of traditional architecture and typical Hollywood stories that make the best of Musso & Frank. It was one of the favourite places of Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. If it is not so frequented by stars, it remains in memories as an old Hollywood institution. Cocktails are also a good argument for coming here. You are discouraged from tasting vegetables or talking with old servers; on the other hand, let's go to the bar where you will certainly enjoy more.
FOGO DE CHÃO BRAZILIAN STEAKHOUSE
Read moreA meal at Fogo de Chão is the promise of a feast. This Brazilian restaurant offers a wide selection of meats: filet mignon, lamb, pork chops, or chicken surrounded by bacon served with steak... All roasted on a giant grill. The plus: a spectacular salad bar, with smoked salmon, vegetables and soup - among others. The restaurant is mostly frequented by families celebrating events, so the atmosphere is always festive.
DUKE'S
Read moreThe Duke's is part of a chain of restaurants on surfers'beaches, paying tribute to Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, born in Hawaii and becoming a world-renowned surf figure. Ideally located on the Pier, it offers the most beautiful sight of Huntington! Fish is always fresh and local, and the shrimp are recommended to Tahitian. Some of them come just to drink some drinks between friends, facing the sea.
PHILIPPE THE ORIGINAL
Read moreA true angeleno institution since its opening in 1908 by the French Philippe Mathieu, this great dinner has been located since the 1950 s at the gates of Chinatown. Its specialty is the French dipped sandwich, a sandwich lightly wet in the juice of meat whose bread is garned (beef, lamb, turkey, choice). Philippe Mathieu, in 1918, accidentally dropped the bread of the sandwich he was preparing in the oven sauce; the client, a policeman, decided to eat it anyway. Amazed by the taste of this failed sandwich, he came back the next day with a group of friends to ask for a sandwich soaked in the meat juice… the legend was born. Nothing good gastronomic in the old fast food, but the salads of macaroni or potatoes, the soup soups or broken peas, Caesar salads, the inevitable coffee juice and the famous sandwiches are true diner classic. The American way of life optimistic and good child of the 1950 s. The apple pie (apple pie), another classic of this address, is a simple and comforting regal.
WONDERLAND OCEAN PUB
Read moreThe best view of San Diego! This restaurant facing the sea allows you to eat or drink a drink by watching the surfers face the waves. The map is eclectic and will satisfy all appetites: taco, ceviches, salads, burgers. It is also a very popular rallying point for American sports matches. In the interior there is a pool and a baby football making it possible to meet in the right mood.
WIPEOUT BAR & GRILL
Read moreWith its surfboards, hanging shark and colorful cheap cocktails, it's a bit of a surf bar cliché. Without surfers, of course, since we're at Pier 39, a sort of small shopping mall doubled with a series of restaurants, all set on the water's edge, and it's mostly families and tourists. That said, you can sit outside, which is always nice, and enjoy a bowl of tuna chunks and a plate of fried fish with good fries. Drake's IPA beer is also tasty.
SPENCER'S RESTAURANT
Read moreA courtyard with three wide trees, luminous balls of various sizes falling from their branches, and jazz music in the background: this is the perfect setting for Spencer's Restaurant. Sitting down on the pretty patio is a pleasure in itself; ordering one of the excellent dishes on the menu, then seeing it arrive, superbly prepared, makes the experience even more enjoyable. Special mention must go to the breaded sea bass, the revisited crab cakes and the fine range of meats. A very fine table!
