Restaurants cuisine du monde California

A small restaurant serving modern Greek specialties with a warm ambience, which has spread its table to the Castro and Berkeley. Dishes are fresh and the resined wine (dry white Greek wine) very good. You can enjoy traditional Greek and Mediterranean dishes, as well as Levantine, Lebanese and Armenian cuisine. The Mediterranean Meza is a good option, which can be shared between two people and allows you to sample 10 small dishes and traditional side dishes from these countries. A tasty address with an outdoor patio, heated in winter.

Sears Fine Food is a city institution that was founded in 1938 by a Swedish family. People come here mainly for the gargantuan breakfast, based on waffles, swedish pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, or omelets accompanied by bacon, salmon or sausages. Come early in the morning to avoid the long line of visitors. You can also have lunch and dinner there, with meatloaf, chowder and other grilled meats on the menu. Don't forget to listen during your meal, you can hear the cable car passing by!

Tony Gemignani is a thirteen-time world pizza champion! As a result, you'll often have to wait almost half an hour to sample the wonders of this San Franciscan pizzaiolo. Let the hostess know that you'd like to eat at the bar, so the wait is shorter. Or take a slice of pizza to go at the dedicated counter on the street. The pizzas are delicious, and seem to come straight from Naples, both in inspiration and in the products used. Tony has also mastered the art of pastas and tiramisu.

The general opinion of the Angelenos (and ours as well) is that Thai Town's Thai restaurants are frankly mediocre. That's probably why Night + Market Song, this small ultra trendy restaurant located on Sunset Boulevard run by Kris Yenbamroong, is a real hit. This young film graduate chef has no culinary training other than growing up in a family of Thai restaurateurs in L.A. The whimsical, colourful and trendy decoration is the ideal setting to uncork a Thai beer before an evening in the neighbourhood's bars! Surprisingly cheap, Night + Market Song offers an authentic cuisine, with sharp and fresh flavours. Try coconut rice, a sticky rice cooked in coconut milk, and, at lunch, Thai Boxing Chicken, a barbecue chicken traditionally served around Bangkok's boxing rings by street vendors.

This little restaurant in Little Tokyo transports visitors to Japan. We take a seat at the counter, facing theitamae - the chef who prepares the sushi - who works before our very eyes. We love the authentic, hushed ambience, the ban on cell phones and, above all, the exceptional quality of the sushi. While everything is delicious, we recommend you try the miso soup and tuna toro, which are hard to find in Japanese restaurants in France. A great address! Be prepared to wait a little at the entrance.

A funny name for a café! Originally, this cigar store served just one type of sandwich. Demand was so great that the number and types multiplied. Nowadays, hot sandwiches are the most popular. The meatball sandwich is very famous here, to be enjoyed with a good glass of California red wine. We like the character of this place, which is a welcome change from standard addresses. The music also contributes to the warm atmosphere.

A 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!

Boudin (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!

A 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.

This lively little Italian restaurant, popular with locals, serves traditional dishes that are far better than most of North Beach's more touristy establishments. You can feel the love in the pots and the character in the food! It's a great atmosphere, with authentic decor and a family team who take great care of their customers. Try the chef's specialty, Polpettine Spaghetti, spaghetti with meatballs and flavors that border on perfection. A fine selection of wines from the Botte region are available to accompany your dish.

In the heart of Downtown, Maccheroni Republic is renowned for its delicious fresh pasta, made in-house every day. Ravioli with pumpkin, rigatoni with burrata, bigoli with angus and sausage ragout, linguine with seafood - scallops, shrimps and clams - agnolotti filled withosso bucco... More than fifteen recipes in all. Excellent value for money. Plus: the pretty little terrace. All in all, if we had to choose one Italian address in Los Angeles on this type of budget, it would be this one!

The 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.

Right on the Venice Boardwalk, this charming restaurant is an ideal vantage point for the many artists and misfits that roam the neighborhood. Since it opened in 1978, Fig Tree has been a family-owned neighborhood institution, blending Latin roots with Pacific Rim influences. It has a tempting menu, with a focus on breakfast, between plantain pancakes and chilaquiles. Also on the menu: a dozen or so dishes to be enjoyed at lunch or dinner, ranging from chicken and avocado to burgers.

A 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.

Marufuku is a popular ramen restaurant in Japantown, with a very chic, designer Japanese setting, which has even opened other outlets in North Cal (in Oakland and Cupertino in particular). Two star ramen on the menu: the authentic Tonkotsu Hakata ramen, featuring a milky, umami-rich pork broth simmered for hours, with fine artisanal noodles. And Paitan ramen with white chicken chashu, seasoned boiled egg, green onions, kikurage mushrooms and bean sprouts. Excellent izakaya appetizers and quality sake. Delicious and affordable.

The decor is superb. The kitchen has a turn of strength, with its delicious insensés mixes and its great classics based on lobster and seafood. The whole Los Angeles is getting there. Amateurs, choose from the bar, where the kitchen will be made in front of you. Fascinating!

Restaurant decorated directly with China and propaganda from the era of the great Timonier. The terrace is particularly pleasant in the evening, when traffic on the avenue has stopped or almost. The proposed Chinese cuisine, of course, is good and especially copious.

The 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.

Arguably the best Greek restaurant in town, Kokkari is the little brother of Palo Alto's Evvia Estiatoro Greek restaurant. Here you can enjoy typical Mediterranean recipes cooked with the finest local ingredients, revisited by chef Erik Cosselmon with a modern twist. A delicious example is the soutzoukakia (lamb meatballs) spiced up with cumin and Greek yoghurt . The dining room is reminiscent of typical Greek taverns, especially the room with its exposed beams and subdued lighting, creating a romantic setting.

The best restaurant in town, Grasing's offers coastal cuisine - fresh, local products prepared with elegance and refinement. Lots of fish and seafood. Very successful country chic decor, warm atmosphere. For small hungers: small plates of cold cuts, salads, tapas-style starters. Magnificent presentation in the plates. The restaurant takes its name from its renowned and talented chef: Kurt Grasing. Very pleasant terrace in the sun in a small typical street of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

A 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.

A very correct and popular address among the bikers community, Harley Davidson jacket bikers. Here we serve the famous clam chowder, a creamy seafood soup. This is clearly the best dish of the map. Everything else is deep fried, fried in a lot of fat, but Neptune's net is a family legend: This is where we take the kids on the beach road!

It's better to eat a Korean barbecue! Just sitting, the servers ask the accompaniments of vegetables and the sauces around the hot plate. You are strongly advised to opt for the All you can eat menu which will allow you to taste everything you want and to refresh for the same price. Once the meat is selected (beef brisket is a classic not missed), the servers deposit the pieces on the plate, then it's up to you to play. The menu also includes scrambled eggs to share, a kimchi pancake and sauté rice on the plate at the end of the meal. Beware of having your eyes bigger than the belly because in order to prevent waste, the restaurant also invoices the meat not consumed… Attention to benefit from the will menu you must be at least 2 people.

The unobstructed view of Downtown from the ^16th-floor terrace is Perch's main attraction. Aiming to be both classy and casual, this bistro has focused on its decor, which takes its customers to Paris for the duration of a meal. While the cheese plate and classic French dishes such as filet mignon or steak served with fries are a little pricey, the brunch is much more reasonably priced, which is why it's best to visit this restaurant at weekends. Otherwise, you can always enjoy the view in the evening over a cocktail.

Specializing in hand-cut noodle soups - or kal-guk-su - this excellent Korean restaurant also serves dumplings - ravioli also known as mandu - bibimbap - rice served with minced beef, egg garnish and sautéed vegetables - and its must-try bossam - boiled pork belly served with crunchy pickled cabbage and kimchi made from spicy radishes. A culinary experience in its own right, with dishes that are as tasty as they are hearty, and always presented with care.

Sam Vella, a Maltese, decided in 1920 to open this restaurant after working seven years in hotels in San Francisco. At the very beginning it is only a tent on Tiburon Beach where it sells sandwiches. Today, Sam's Café is known to everyone and some of the San-Franciscans are queuing up so that they can enjoy seafood from the day, facing the ocean. The atmosphere is very warm and the seafood, the speciality of the house, are excellent. Moreover, what does not spoil anything, prices are not exorbitant. Fine wine list.

This is where the heart of Calistoga beats. An authentic, lively, warm, gourmet address. You enter a large room with high ceilings, like a saloon; you meet friendly locals, you order your breakfast from waiters full of humor and kindness. Honey, sugar and milk in all their forms are available on the counter. The bagels and smoothies are perfect in all their variations and so are the variations around coffee since it is the house specialty. A guaranteed treat!

You wouldn't expect to find such an inexpensive restaurant in this chic neighborhood. But Helmand Palace has made a name for itself with its Afghan specialties. It is, however, only open in the evening. On the menu: various kebabs, vegetarian options based on chickpeas and delicious soups. Located at the foot of Russian Hill, it will transport you to the Afghan mountains with its simmered dishes, tea and exotic baklava. Everything is good, including deygee kabab and seek kabab. Reservations recommended at weekends.

Don't be put off by the bright green frontage, unsightly neon lights and mediocre appearance of this little Chinese boui-boui, where you'll find great seafood and fish at all hours. There are plenty of Middle Kingdom specialties to choose from, starting with the excellent Peking half-duck, as well as Wonton Noodle Soup and dishes spiced with Sichuan pepper, for example. Portions are gargantuan. Late eaters will be delighted to learn that this restaurant stays open until 11pm every day, a rarity in San Francisco.

The 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.

Recommended by the inhabitants of Sausalito for his fresh homemade pasta and fish. For ten Years, Salvatore Martinelli, alias Mr. Wonderful, greets his world with a great smile. While in the kitchen Pascale Ancoma deals with the furnaces and made della casa or spada spada.

The girl & the fig is a top-class French restaurant. It also boasts a magnificent old-fashioned bar with French aperitifs and unique yet traditional cocktails. The restaurant's à la carte menu features delicious dishes that will take your breath away, such as fig and arugula salad, duck confit, steak tartares... The cheese platters are a credit to the region. As for the wine list, it features only typical Rhône varietals. What's more, the atmosphere is warm and inviting. An excellent address.

The big. button is the much appreciated button of the big sleepyheads that you can find on the alarm clock, allowing you to spend a few extra moments of sleep by pushing the bell. Snooze is the morning specialist, the reference for breakfast and brunch. Everyone gets started on the weekend to start the day with a sweet or savoury breakfast depending on the mood. There is an opportunity for hésiter, cereals, porridges, Benedict eggs and burgers. Also ideal for lunch at the counter or in the room.

A very nice, trendy place in Cow Hollow, with a pleasant glass roof overlooking refreshing plants, banquettes with pretty, comfortable cushions. The à la carte menu offers excellent breakfasts and brunches at weekends, as well as a range of healthy dishes and more substantial specialties at lunchtime (salads, sandwiches, vitamin-packed bowls). Cocktails are also among the most popular after-dinner specialties. As a café, restaurant and bar, the Palm House offers a great atmosphere at any time of day.

Good address of seafood specialties with a view on the ocean, directly located between Highway 1 and the Pacific. From the outside, the place looks like a simple little shack, without suspecting the delicious menus that Sam concocts for us inside. Live concert on weekends. Sam's Chowder is also a restaurant in Palo Alto and a truck that moves from spot to spot depending on the day of the week. Very appreciated by locals and visitors who come from San Francisco for a lobster roll, a tuna poke or Sam's delicious clam soup!

Elegant decor for this high-flying Japanese restaurant, which takes you straight to the Japanese archipelago with two swipes of its chopsticks. You first pass through a small, relaxing courtyard, then take your seat in the wood-panelled interior room, where each table is separated by panels that allow a certain intimacy. The à la carte menu features exceptional dishes in the purest Japanese tradition, combining simplicity and freshness. Skewers and sashimi are particularly good. One of the best Japanese addresses in town.

Located just a few streets from Weswood Village in the heart of the Tehrut district, Shamshiri Grill is the ideal place to discover the Persian cuisine. The servings are very generous and go mainly to one of the city's best Shish Kebab. The delicious mint tea completes a rich meal with a sweet note.

With 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.

In Chinatown, this family-run Vietnamese restaurant is very authentic. It's frequented by many Asians throughout the day, which is a good sign and convenient when you've skipped lunch. Indeed, the dishes are delicious, especially the Pho soups (the most popular in the house, a beef noodle soup ), bo buns, spring rolls and imperial egg rolls, hearty and crispy. We recommend one of the very original special dishes.

Imagine a huge Mexican canteen consisting of an incredible number of small rooms with overloaded decoration, where servers run in all directions, in a continuous and very warm hubbub… You are there! Since 1958, this is the preferred place, and more so secret, of the people in the neighbourhood. They love to enjoy a Margarita in the bar or to taste one of the many Mexican dishes in the pure tradition of the Delgado family. Every evening, Mexican concert.

A 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!

This cozy cafe on Arcata Square offers salads, sandwiches and desserts for a pleasant light lunch. Many students are there to take a coffee or eat a piece. Very good atmosphere. Also a bakery side with very honorable croissants and pastries, all made home.

Vietnamese cafes in L.A. are in general connected; here the colours and intense fragrances of the dishes follow the movement. With more than 500 000 Vietnamese Vietnamese living in California, the good chefs are missing: Gingergrass is always tight. The aromas of coconut milk, verbena, grilled meat and stir-fried vegetables blend in this restaurant. It's an ideal place to go to a group, even if you'll have to shout to make you heard from one end of the table to the other.

An institution of the Fisherman's Wharf district with its Italian colors. You can eat on the terrace near the wharf under the umbrellas or in a large room. It is crowded, but the service is efficient and attentive. The menu features fish from the nearby bays. The speciality of the house: the Cioppino which marries with talent tomatoes, fennel seeds, clams, fish, shrimps, crab... But the pizzas are delicious too. This family business has been in existence for over 20 years and has built a solid reputation.

Cooked outdoors over a wood fire, the grilled meats are enjoyed in this exquisite log house in the middle of the desert, in front of the folk and rock bands who come to perform in their cowboy boots and miniskorts, craft beer in hand. It was here, in Pioneertown, that many westerns were filmed in the 1950s; this restaurant was then just a movie set. Today, Pappy & Harriet's has a charm straight out of an American road-trip movie. Don't hesitate to consult the online music program before you come.

To feel Asian influence in Downtown, nothing like a meal at Orochon Ramen. Ramen is one of the most popular Japanese dishes, consisting of meat or fish pasta broth, seasoned with miso or soy sauce. It's delicious and cheap here. But what makes most of the success of this restaurant is its famous Orochon bowl challenge: A competition that rewards the one who will manage to eat the most spicy ramen in the world!

In the face of such a wide and varied menu, one solution: Let yourself be worn by your desires and you will certainly not be disappointed. A map full of surprises from Thailand, in a refined but warm decor. Very good value for money in the neighborhood. Emporter dishes also available.

It's the latest trendy restaurant in Hayes Valley, but also in DogPatch and Mission, where it has opened identical signs. A Mediterranean blue-and-white universe with Greek flavors. The star of the menu? Sandwiches and gyros, grilled meat on skewers (lamb, pork or chicken) served in sandwiches or salads, as well as other Cretan and Greek specialties in olive oil, frozen yogurts, wines... A place that's often full at lunchtime, whatever the neighborhood, because the flavors are authentic and delicious.
