3. Chow
$ | Castro | AmericanThis consistently popular and consciously unpretentious, funky-yet-savvy diner serves standards like hamburgers, pizzas, and spaghetti with meatballs, all treated with culinary respect. More budget-friendly than some of the area's other options, it has built its reputation on honest and approachable fare. Diners will discover Mexican- and Asian-style dishes mixed in with the primarily American/Italian menu (the silky wontons are popular), all-day brunch, and a nice list of salads. Don't even think about leaving without trying the ginger cake with caramel sauce. The wine list has some well-chosen picks.

5. Frances
$$$$ | Castro |One of the hottest tickets in town, chef Melissa Perello's simple, sublime restaurant is a consummate date-night destination. Perello's seasonal California-French cooking is its own enduring love affair, with standouts including the savory bavette steak, grilled Sakura pork chop, and panisse frites. For dessert, the lumberjack cake is a perennial favorite. The space has a limited number of tables, the tasting menu changes weekly, and service is professional and warm.

6. Poesia Café
$ | Castro |An offshoot of the restaurant Poesia next door, the name means "poetry" in Italian, and the pastries, desserts, and savory sandwiches at this cafe live up to the name. You can't go wrong with anything on the house-made cornetti or focaccia, or for that matter any of the wide variety of Italian pastries. The artful interior makes good use of tile and color, and the service is warm and personal.

7. Thorough Bread and Pastry
$ | Castro | BakeryParisian pastry chef Michel Suas, founder of the San Francisco Baking Institute, offers perfectly executed French pastries–-such as his near-legendary almond croissant–-at this sweet Castro storefront. Exposed-brick walls and cement floors give the interior an arty-industrial feel, but don't overlook the leafy back patio.

Seafood fans will find plenty else to love on the menu, which is stocked with everything from cioppino to crab melts. The V-shape storefront, which stands on a busy Market Street corner, is comfortably funky. It seems like everyone in the neighborhood turns out for $1.25 West Coast oysters on Tuesday. A second branch is in Lower Pacific Heights.
