We Ate Everything in San Francisco This Past Weekend

I’ll keep this post short on the writing and full of pictures. Mama and Papa Dani California Cooks drove up for a weekend to see our new place and explore SF! And by explore San Francisco I really mean just eat everything. The weather couldn’t have been better, and we had so much fun. Come again soon, please!

Dinner at Nopalito on Friday night was awesome. We shared totopes (already salsa-fied chips) and some ceviche, and then I had fish tacos as my entree. Great tequila cocktails too. Nate’s carnitas definitely stole the show! (Tip for this restaurant - you can place your name on the waitlist over the phone!)

As if we weren’t stuffed enough, we got our hands on some Bi-Rite ice cream! We were the last ones allowed into the store before they closed, so we didn’t even have to wait in the line that normally clings around this store. I had a delicious vegan strawberry coconut ice cream on a gluten free cone. Happy camper!

We took a great run through the Presidio on Saturday morning, dodging golf balls left and right. Lunch at Radish was pretty meh. Everyone around us was ordering the French toast and the pancakes and the chicken and waffles so I think we just made poor ordering decisions with going for the salads. Even the homemade root chips left something to be desired. This place was super popular though - we waited an hour - so I think we just ordered wrong!

Wandering through the colorful Mission neighborhood.

Took a couple of naps in Dolores Park watching this dancing robot. We thought it was a costumed human for a solid hour before realizing it was remote controlled.

Modern Vietnamese dinner at Out the Door (the more casual sister restaurant of the Slanted Door) on Fillmore. The ribs were amazing! But I think my spring rolls are better :).

Ice cream at Smitten, where they make your ice cream to-order using these nitrogen freezing machines. Seriously - you watch your ice cream being made right in front of you! I went for the vegan valrhona chocolate popsicle. It was amazing!! (There may have been a second trip back to Smitten on Sunday…)

Sunday morning started out with lots of oatmeal and then a great run through Crissy Field. Great for people and dog watching! Healthy (unpictured) lunching at the Plant in the Marina topped off the weekend before the parents headed on their road trip to Big Sur. The Plant’s menu is awesome in all ways. And I love that they have kombucha on tap. The food frenzy continued into the work week - make sure to check out tomorrow’s What I Ate Wednesday post!

It's only fair to share...
