    Samovar Tea Lounge
    It's in the Yerba Buena Gardens above Metreon. It's tucked away and very quiet and have a great view while downtown. Have great clean food. I always get their English Breakfast Service as their scone is incredible. Brunch here is great.

    I've gotten all my NY friends that shoot in London all the time to have this as their favorite Indian restaurant. Butter chicken, lobster tail tandori, and the sea bass tandori are to die for. The
    cauliflower dish with asparagus is great.

    Breakfast is incredible. You have to be there by 8:45AM or you will be in line for at least 45 minutes, because it’s that good. See the special menu. Their baked goods are to die for. Be prepared for food coma.

    Plant Café
    Pier 3 on Embarcadero
    Go to this one as it's pretty and on the water. Great dinner place and have great drinks as well. Their plant burger is supposed to be AMAZING. Their juices are great as well. I always get the ginger miso quinoa.

    They have a great outside seating if the weather permits. I would recommend getting there before 10:30. It gets packed. Their sweet breakfast items are amazing.

    And of course, you will need to get proper Mexican food in the Mission.

    Poncho Villa
    3071 16th St @ Valencia
    I always get their Garlic Shrimp plate, as it's to die for.

    Then you can walk over to Bi Rite for amazing ice cream
