Breakfast & Brunch in the Inner Richmond

Great Russian food, especially for brunch. My personal favorite is the sweet cheese blinchiki! Lines can be long on the weekend, but worth the wait. Nice outdoor seating.

One of our hands-down favorite restaurants in SF - and maybe the best Sichuan food we've ever had. If you like spicy, don't skip this restaurant! The restaurant is run by a husband & wife team. Ask her for recommendations of what to order, she won’t steer you wrong. Or try some of our favorites: Sichuan Pickled Fish Fillets 金汤酸菜豆花鱼 Spicy Cauliflower in Flaming Pot 干锅花菜 Eggplant with Hot Garlic Sauce 鱼香茄子 Chong Qing Style Chili Chicken 重庆辣子鸡 Beef pancakes 牛肉卷饼 Dry Cook Green Bean 干煸四季豆 Appetizers (cold dishes) Cold noodle 凉面 Cucumber & dry bean curd 黄瓜拌腐竹 Wood ear mushroom with chopped chili 剁椒木耳 Sichuan style greenbean jelly 川北凉粉 Spicy beef 麻辣牛肉 Sliced Chicken with Green Pepper藤椒鸡

One of our favorite date night restaurants. Classic french bistro food, great views over the city, and really fun atmosphere. Try the steak frites and tell Thierry we say hi! Waits can be long, and they don't take reservations. Put your name on the list and grab a glass of wine and an appetizer next door at Aurora Alimentari.
