Restaurants cuisine du monde Côte Ouest Etats-Unis

On the east side of Chinatown, you could almost walk past it without seeing it. Yet R&G Lounge is a must; it's even one of the favorite addresses of former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle! While the service isn't necessarily the most extraordinary, the cuisine is top-notch. The secret of their success: the freshest seafood. Specialties include salt and pepper crab and shark fin soup, but the restaurant is also renowned for its mastery of vegetable cooking.

More than a restaurant, it's a concept. Sitting in the pretty courtyard for the evening session, you'll enjoy fine food while sneaking glimpses of auteur films (Fellini, for example) projected on the large raw concrete wall. If you choose to stop by before dark, you'll enjoy the room's concrete and fireplace decor, very post-industrial chic. On the menu, local oysters and fish served in a spicy sauce have a special place. A unique atmosphere.

Noe Street is not only a little paradise in itself, a street full of greenery between Duboce and Mission, but it is home to one of the best French restaurants in San Francisco. Chef Thierry Clément makes the most of the region's excellent produce to offer escargots, coq au vin, duck confit (cooked for 7 hours) and filet mignon on his menu. Not forgetting for dessert lovers the tarte Tatin, the crème brûlée and the floating raspberry island topped with caramel... And a superb wine list!

A 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.

Since 2003, Chef Michael Tusk has been managing this Michelin-guided restaurant (last time in 2017). The restaurant also regularly arrives at the top of the hit-parades of California establishments. It serves Californian cuisine with Italian influences, prepared based on seasonal and local ingredients. The menu is "imposed" by the chef, and we like to be guided by such an expert hand! A true delight for both eyes and papillae.

If you want to taste dim sum - small steamed ravioli - worthy of the best Hong Kong restaurants, this is the chain for you. The preparations are of a rare finesse, the flavors fragrant, flowery, surprising... From noodles to wontons, every dish is a success. What's more, while the desserts are far from traditional, the way they are revisited is highly successful, with chocolate and mochi xiaolongbaos topping the list. You'll also find addresses in Costa Mesa, Los Angeles and San Diego.

Chinese food lovers, here you are. In this authentic and unpretentious restaurant, the flavors of the Middle Kingdom deploy in your plate with their thousand delicate fragrances, their undulating aromas and outstanding flavors for the western palace. Corn soup and dim sum are particularly recommendable. A charming service, no sleeves, in a quiet setting with a quiet light, as a parenthesis over time. Forget your glass of wine, order a teapot and dive into delicate, diverse and exotic flavors of Chinese cuisine…

A 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.

Bistro Central Park is ideally located in the heart of NOPA, one of the city's new popular neighbourhoods, within walking distance of the Golden Gate Park. In its image, the hotel offers a truly modern cuisine full of surprises. The real experience will be at the bar: order specials, plats-dishes-dessert. Also on the map: onion soup, mignon filet, risotto to the Saint James, and bouillabaisse of the chef who comes from Marseille! Jacques and his team have elegantly associated French traditional cuisine with the San-Franciscan dynamism, and the effect is guaranteed: you will come back to it! Also ideal for a weekend brunch.

If 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!

A 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.

We 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.

This Italian restaurant is often referred to as one of the best places in California. It is true that you will not be disturbed: 7 tables only, with some outdoor tables for the summer, candles everywhere, wine list and tempting menu. It is therefore preferable to reserve some time in advance. They ask you to double confirm your arrival. The signature dish of the great chef is to be tried: the eggplant pancakes filled with smoked salmon, a delight! For dessert, we recommend the white chocolate ice cream. Notice to food lovers!

This is Clint Eastwood's restaurant. The setting is friendly and wooded, even rustic. The hunter's type with its boar heads and its frames straight out of a western movie, one would almost think one was in a saloon. A fireplace is installed outside and manages to give character to a dinner by the fire. The menu includes American specialties such as grills, sandwiches and salads as well as classic Mexican dishes. Prices are relatively reasonable. Keep an eye out for the famous owner who drops by from time to time.

For 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.
