January 20, 2015 | sack
There are a number of famous sights to see in San Francisco, but for the avid food enthusiast, there are just as many famous restaurants to try. Here are two of San Fran’s most buzzed about fine dining destinations.
Gary Danko
The 75-seat Gary Danko has served San Francisco for almost 15 years, but this popular restaurant is still one of the area’s most popular. Sophisticated, contemporary cuisine is served in the intimate dining room lined with wooden walls and natural light fixtures, and guests often enjoy a bottle from the restaurant’s impressive wine selection. The caviar service is exceptional, and the dinner entrees consist of seafood, tender meats, and unique game birds served with thoughtful sides like pea tendrils or decadent duck hash.

La Folie
Located in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighborhood, La Folie is a French contemporary staple restaurant that’s been around since 1988. Each dish is made with ingredients sourced from local farmers and prepared by head chef Roland Passot. The private room is furnished with a U-shaped table that can accommodate up to 30 guests, and the La Folie Lounge next door offers diners a more intimate, sultry space for after-dinner drinks. From its traditional French meat and seafood dishes to its decadent wine and cheese pairings, La Folie is a luxurious European experience right in the Bay Area.
