Delightfully nestled within the cutest cornerstone in North Beach is the spectacularly magical and deliciously ingenious Trestle. Comforting, curated, and chic- such adjectives are just a few that describe both the intimate interior as well as the refined cuisine, though the descriptors are as positively endless as their menu options.
Helmed by an exquisitely talented team of chefs, Trestle opened in 2015 and has garnered instant adoration for their multi-course prix-fixe menu available at amazingly affordable prices, but that's not the only reason why. Trestle's offerings are also always rotating daily, making for a playfully enticing adventure that invites guests to a dining experience that's exclusively fleeting and ever-changing. This is truly the destination for a novel meal that feels luxurious, familial, and, because of the offerings on the day that you choose to attend, perfectly personalized.

Such precise balance is also reflected in the cuisine, which come in three generous courses of an appetizer, main, and dessert, with the option to add extras and wine. These additional offerings are often exclusively seasonal, such as their most recent fall showcasing of luxurious Italian-imported white truffles for a cost-effective extra $20.
With the entire prix-fixe already at a jaw-dropping $39, Trestle truly devotes themselves to being accessible to their loyal community without sacrificing sophistication or quality. This is especially true on their even more spectacular Restaurant Week deals.

The quality of cooking is rooted in Trestle's careful utilization of only the freshest in-season produce, such as elevating delicata squash, cauliflower, and beets for fall and winter and innovatively transforming them into complex forms and tastes. Dessert is also included in this out-of-the-box reimaginings, with offerings seen gracing their menu like the delicately-spiced Chocolate Cardamom Cake, and the divine Coconut Custard with satisfyingly crunchy Candied Macadamias.
Such creative boldness has consistently worked in Trestle's favor, effortlessly garnering three stars from SF Chronicle's Michael Bauer, instantly earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient, and remaining superior in Eater SF's Essential 38 and the Chronicle's Top 100.
