After a tumultuous last few years, San Francisco’s Restaurant Week is back in full force and bigger than ever thanks to the persevering work of the Golden Gate Restaurant Association.
Beginning today on April 1st, this city-wide event will run until April 10th and will be a culinary whirlwind of over 100 restaurants (with the list still growing) honored to be participating and contributing their best fare. With the gourmet gamut running from prix fixe lunch, brunch, and dinner specials from $10-$75, in takeout, delivery, and/or indoor and outdoor seating, the Restaurant Week site has a fantastic list that thoroughly sorts it all out, yet the options can still be overwhelming.
Sorted by price range and meal type, this our ultimate guide to ensure you get the best places out of this week.
