Best Authentic Restaurants in Sunset District

The staff was exceptionally warm, Kokkari is still as cozy and delicious as ever. A classic San Francisco staple.

Elena’s has never let me down! Always friendly, always a good time! The calamari frito is a MUST order! It’s tender, light yet crispy all at the same time. All the drinks are top notch but my favorite is the mezcal drink with passionfruit - such a perfect pairing!

Always wonderful food and attentive service. This is an outstanding restaurant! Don't miss the specials, but everything I've had there is delicious, naturally healthy, great wine selections. A short walk from the Botanical Garden and if you go when the Gardens close at 5 you will be sure to get a table at LaLe.

We were a little concerned when we walked in, as the website is lovely but the restaurant looked a little sketchy. Once we entered, however, we were treated like royalty! The food was FANTASTIC, and the owner was a joy. So accommodating, and clearly happy to have people who enjoyed his food so very much. We will definitely be going back! This is a find.

One of our party has numerous allergies. Our server went out of her way to help her find healthy choices for the guest, including checking with the kitchen to confirm that two pastas were suitable. A wonderful experience, delicious dishes!
