A
Clementine
A Parisian bistro inside the fog belt? The culinary inspiration knows no bounds here in the midst of Clement Street greengrocers: artichokes end up stuffed with goat cheese and lotus, and honey-roasted quail settle into a bed of porcini ravioli. Before 19:00 Monday through Thursday diners enjoy a special deal on three-course prix fixe feasts, and their own smug reflections in the mirror.

B
Balboa Café
Before Gavin Newsom won the mayor's race he won over San Francisco diners and drinkers with this classic but not too starchy American bistro, best enjoyed for a casual yet lucrative business lunch. Opened as a saloon in 1913, the beer is still kept cold in ancient wooden ice boxes, and at night the place jumps with the city's loudest, most stridently heterosexual singles scene.
