With
well over three thousand restaurants crammed onto the small peninsula,
and scores of bars and cafés open all day, eating in San Francisco
is never difficult.
Eating is the culture in this town, with excellent food often at modest
prices. Be warned, though - San Francisco closes early, and you'll
be struggling to get served much after 10pm. Mexican food is big in
the Mission, Italian places
abound in North Beach, and, of course, Chinatown naturally has plenty
of Chinese, while Japan Center - the heart of Japantown, located at
Post between Geary, Laguna and Fillmore, a mile west of Union Square
- boasts a few fine Japanese places. In health-conscious San Francisco
you'll find vegetarian entrees on every menu and quite a few entirely
vegetarian restaurants. With the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma Valley
on the city's doorstep, quality wines have a high profile in most
San Francisco restaurants. State law prohibits smoking in all restaurants,
cafés and bars, as evidenced by crowds of people puffing illicitly
on the pavements.
