SWAN OYSTER DEPOT
Read moreAn address appreciated by the locals for its seafood. We sit at the counter to order seafood cocktails, salads of large shrimps, lobsters, crabs, spiders and scallops, sea urchins in season... One makes a little queue, sometimes even a little much, but the game is worth the candle. The seafood platters are magnificent and of an unequalled freshness. Visually, the place looks like a fishmonger's, so the atmosphere is even nicer. San Franciscans love it and so do we!
BAR HAYAMA
Read moreSurrounded by bamboo and with a brazier at its center, the patio has a romantic atmosphere, while the two sake bars are the main attraction. Lovers of Japanese gastronomy, in the broadest sense of the term, will find a first taste of what it has to offer here. Sushi, sashimi, tempura, donburi, bentos... However, while the dishes are excellent, don't count on the sushi to fill you up, as the plates are relatively small. Also, please note that lunch is take-away only.

The menu, a traditional Italian version focusing on northern Italian specialties, offers a wide variety of antipasti, pasta, meat and fish dishes, served with great pomp and circumstance.

WATER GRILL

The rest of the week, the prices are higher in this trattoria in the retro look, but we will come for its good pizzas. If you come to many, you can share the dishes and get out at a more reasonable rate. The focaccia bread is appreciated especially since it is enjoyed by two.

Don't forget to book in advance.
