1. Brasa Bros | Mission District

Peruvian-style rotisserie chicken, crispy fries, and combo meals made for sharing—Brasa Bros is casual, affordable, and already buzzworthy. Sangria and chicha morada? Yes, please.

2. Schlok’s Bagels & Lox | Financial District
Schlok’s brings its cult-status bagels downtown, now with a full-service lox counter, deli sandwiches, and schmear upgrades. Your lunch break just got an upgrade.

3. Precita Social | Bernal Heights
Raw bar meets neighborhood bistro. Think: caviar rolls, oysters, vegan dashi rice, and a tight menu that’s equally refined and inviting. A great new reason to head to Bernal.

4. Bar Brucato | Mission
This small-batch distillery-slash-restaurant pairs housemade amaro with creative California fare. Try the octopus with butter beans or just sip a bitter cocktail under the string lights.

5. Cache | Inner Sunset
A modern twist on bistro culture. With dishes like French curry quinoa and sea bream crudo, Cache is exactly what the Inner Sunset didn’t know it needed—until now.

6. Fikscue Craft BBQ | Mission Bay / Thrive City
Texas-style BBQ with Indonesian soul. Smoked brisket and nasi goreng share the menu with big, bold sides. It’s fusion that works, right next to the Chase Center.

7. Nopa Fish | Ferry Building
From the team behind the legendary Nopa, this seafood-forward offshoot offers fresh catches, chowder, and fried fish sandwiches with a waterfront view. Pick up something quick or stay awhile.

8. JouJou | Design District
Brought to you by the Lazy Bear crew, JouJou is high-end, low-key. Expect oysters, grilled salmon, and garden dining—perfect for a date night or weekend splurge.

9. Via Aurelia | Mission Rock
An 8,000 sq. ft. Tuscan stunner from the minds behind Che Fico. Wood-fired meats, rich pastas, and seaside ambiance are about to make Mission Rock SF’s newest dining destination.

10. Superprime Steakhouse | SoMa
Chef Marc Zimmerman returns with dry-aged cuts, steakhouse classics, and refined dishes inspired by his Japanese roots. Elegant, meaty, and made for power dinners.
