Hi everyone! San Francisco is one of the most visited cities in the US so where
do you go to eat? If you really want to get a sense of San Francisco, here are
the top 10 must eats ranging from beloved local favorites to historical eats
here we go
number 10 La Taqueria when we think of burritos it's usually
giant, filled with ingredients, and wrapped in tin foil. Well as it turns out
this was invented in San Francisco - it's called the mission-style burrito because
it was invented by a taqueria in the Mission District, inspiring restaurants like Chipotle
It's debated as to which taqueria invented it, but La Taqueria on Mission St is one of the best
first you have to steam the tortilla to make
it really flexible to hold all of the ingredients, pack it with lots of yummy
eats, and then wrap it in tinfoil so you don't need any utensils
a secret tip is that you can ask for the burrito Dorado style which means that they'll grill it
for some extra crispy yumminess at no extra charge
number nine the chicken wings at San Tung
so anytime you look at some type of food list for San Francisco
San Tung somehow sneaks its way onto all these lists and this is why because
their dry fried chicken wings are so dang good every table is getting the dry
fried chicken it's sweet it's slightly spicy it's so dang crispy the chicken is
so moist inside you just want to keep eating them
the black bean sauce noodles wet style are good as well
number eight Ghirardelli chocolate you can go visit the original Ghirardelli
ice cream and chocolate shop at ghirardelli square
Ghirardhelli Chocolate was established by an Italian chocolatier in 1852
they hand out some free samples in the front of the store and then you can go check out some
historic chocolate making equipment in the back and then it's time to eat
something sweet so we loved their world famous hot fudge sundae
the fudge was so thick and rich, the brownie was warm, crispy on the outside
and moist inside and the ice cream was just perfect
definitely a place to go if you love chocolate
number seven Boudin Bakery and sourdough bread
although sourdough bread was not invented in San Francisco
the sourdough bread in San Francisco tastes different due to a bacteria
called lactobacillus sanfrancisco
Boudin Bakery was founded in 18-49 by a
french baker who took the sourdough that the Gold Rush miners discovered and
blended it with french techniques they have so many items in their sourdough
bakery but one thing that is just a San Francisco classic is clam chowder in a
sourdough bread bowl the clam chowder is creamy and I love how the bread soaks up
the soup it's a perfect thing to eat on a cold San Francisco day
number six Arsicault Bakery this french bakery was dubbed the best new bakery in
the US in 2016 by Bon Appetit magazine their croissants are so good we tried
their plain, almond, ham and cheese, and kougin amann. I love croissants and these
are the best croissants that I've ever had they were all really good but I
particularly liked the almond one and the ham and cheese the ham is the right
amount of saltiness the cheese is stringy and creamy and it's the best
savory croissant that I've ever had
number five Tony's Pizza Napoletana
this restaurant is owned by 13-time world pizza champion Tony Gemignani
the restaurant's really busy and we didn't have time to wait but the hostess told us
that we can just go two doors down and it's the same place same kitchen so when
you go over there you can actually order a fresh pizza or you can pick from
their prepared slices so we got a slice of the NY cheese and a slice
of the double sausage and sweet peppers you can tell how good a pizza is just by
a simple slice of cheese pizza oh my goodness this pizza is so good it's a
thin crust pizza and it's crispy its chewy I really like the double sausage
and sweet peppers so definitely come here if you love pizza
number four the egg tarts at Golden Gate Bakery
this bakery is just killing it
if you like egg tarts then this is probably going to be the best egg tart that
you've ever had we've had a lot of egg tarts you stand in line for a long time
their egg tart is just fantastically eggy and custardy the crust is amazing
oh my gosh they were so good
number three Swan Oyster Depot
Swan Oyster Depot opened in 1903 and soon became known as a place to go for fresh
seafood in San Francisco there are only eighteen stools in the restaurant so the
wait is really long and it's really popular we tried the clam chowder and
the combination seafood cocktail which were both really good and fresh
bring lots of cash since its cash only and it's a seafood place
they have an article about the off menu secret items in the bathroom
if you love fresh seafood especially raw seafood Swan Oyster Depot is the place to go
number two the crab cioppino at Sotto Mare
cioppino is actually a San Francisco invention
it was developed in the late 1800s by Italian fishermen
who lived in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco
Sotto Mare is widely known as having the best crab cioppino in the city it's also a small
place as well but it's totally worth the wait
other cioppinos we've had didn't have crab, the Sotto Mare crab cioppino has
mussels Dungeness crab calamari shrimp clams and it even has ziti pasta
the seafood is so fresh and the broth is so good
oh my god this is good this is really good (oh wow)
Wow that's really good (wow)
so come visit Sotto Mare in San Francisco's Little Italy
and then the number one must eat place when you go to San Francisco
Tadich Grill - Tadich Grill is not only the oldest restaurant in San
Francisco it's the oldest restaurant in California we heard the lines are
usually pretty long but we went on a Sunday at 2 p.m. and we didn't have to wait
this restaurant is not cheap it was 37 dollars for a seafood saute and
there's a minimum order per party but the food is so good
we got the seafood saute which comes with scallops prawns and crab legs and
oh my gosh the seafood was gigantic look at this gigantic prawn and this gigantic
scallop the crab legs were so good the seafood is so fresh it's so well cooked
the sauce is fantastic it's a white wine marsala sauce
