San Francisco, they say, is one of United
States ' hottest culinary destinations. We beg to differ. Far
from being the destination, San Francisco is where our journey begins. It
is here that the Chinese Fortune Cookie originated. Ditto for the delectable California
cuisine. If the way to one's heart is
really through the stomach, this is the City you'll fall in love with. For
a ‘well-rounded' meal, head for Equinox, the city's only revolving restaurant
atop the Hyatt Regency at the Embarcadero Center . Savor the panoramic, 360 °
view of the glittering Bay and the spectacular San Francisco skyline. The
Waterfront Boulevard Embarcadero greets you with swaying palms and incredible
views of the shimmering Bay. Just four
blocks off the Embarcadero Waterfront, the
Park Hyatt San Francisco is connected by landscaped pedestrian mall with the
historic French Reserve Building . One
of the world-famous restored trolleys will take you to Market Street , where you'll
love the award-winning Market Street Grill at the Ramada
Plaza Downtown. Turn into Third Street
South of Market and step into the critically-acclaimed Jester's, at The
Argent Hotel. Dig into the Euro-Pacific cuisine prepared by Chef Joel Guillon,
one of the only 300 French master chefs in the world. The
adjacent Jester's lounge holds the distinction of being one of San Francisco 's
trendiest watering holes. At 4th Street,
check out the San Francisco Marriott at Yerba Buena Gardens. The delectable Northern
California cuisine served here presents a mouth-watering array of choices. Try
the golden-crusted chicken and asparagus lasagna and the parmesan-crusted swordfish
for lunch. Dinner specialties include the Tucson-style rib eye steak and grilled
fillet of salmon with Thai red curry sauce. The Marriott's award-winning pastry
chef will delight you with a choice of scrumptious desserts. Cross
Market Street into the North side, and you'll find yourself at the foot of historic
Post Street . Arrive on the “Dot” at the Radisson
Miyako Hotel to enjoy Northern California cuisine served with a lighthearted
twist. While here, step into the audacious Lord of Balls lounge designed by marketing
legend Joe Boxer, the King of Underpants. Another Post Street landmark is the
Pan
Pacific Hotel. The hotel's onsite restaurant is known for diverse and creative
cuisine in a relaxed setting, punctuated with the crackle of fire, soft notes
of the piano and the splash of the fountain. At
nearby Powell Street , the Villa
Florence Hotel offers a rare treat onsite with Kuleto's Italian Restaurant. More
