2 Best Restaurants in San Francisco, California

Sometimes referred to as Cafe Floorshow because it's such a see-and-be-seen place, Cafe Flore serves coffee drinks, beer, and tasty café fare. It's a good place to catch the latest Castro gossip.

Parisian 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.
