Cute, quirky tearoom at Church and Clipper Street. The decor is mismatched and so are some of the tea sets, but their service and food are worth a visit. If you prefer something a little heartier, they also serve up some English pub fare including Shepherd's Pie, Sausage Rolls, and Quiche.

2022 Michelin award. You'll probably have to wait for a table at this walk-in-only spot in Noe Valley. It’s tiny, with just a few seats at the bar and a couple of dining room tables. But when you finally sit and the friendly staff starts bringing perfect pieces of fatty tuna and yellowtail belly nigiri to the table, you’ll know the wait was worth it. Come to Saru to share the more basic sushi rolls, like sweet potato tempura or tuna maki, and specialty ones like the White Out with seared escarole and garlic ponzu.
