Have a 2 3/4 hour midday layover at SFO before flight to Paris. Seeking suggestions on where to get a great lunch and/or carry-on food at SFO.

Thanks

The International Terminal actually has some decent places to eat. I like Andale, but there are some good places out at the end of the terminal as well. Have fun in Paris.

Oops posted before I was finished: Ebisu, Firewood, Harry Denton's and Il Fornaio are all decent restaurants where I have had meals in SF--I presume their airport places are also decent.

As stated - the International terminal is the place to have a meal. There's even a great little french bistro take-away that I'm sure would fit the carry-on food category.

Unlike the rest of the airport where you must go through security to reach food places, the International terminals two large food areas (there are two, one at either end) are located outside of security near the ticket counters.

There really is almost every kind of food you could want there - and it's all good. There are your average food places located in the other terminals - inside the security zone - but they are mostly mediocre.

yet another vote for the International Terminal for dining.
