Russian Hill is among the more laidback of residential neighborhoods in San Francisco. It is not commercialized like some of typical San Francisco pockets and has its own sprinkling of small restaurants. The impression among first-time visitors might be that Russian Hill’s simple-looking restaurants will not be able to match their glitzy counterparts that are typical to urban restaurants CA SF.
However, the food here is at par with San Francisco’s standards and the environment is much more visitor-friendly. The best of Russian Hill restaurants CA SF are found in the areas bordering the Hyde Street, near Jackson Street. The name might mislead some to think that Russian Hill’s range of restaurants CA SF have an exaggerated Russian culinary influence, but this is certainly not the case. Some worthwhile eating options among Russian Hill’s restaurants CA SF are:
Frascati (1901 Hyde Street)
The first thing that catches your attention is the constant stream of customers walking in Frascati’s rustic ambience. The Frascati is among the true neighbourhood-friendly places to eat among Russian Hill’s range of restaurants CA SF. The cuisine can be best described as pan-European and the menu includes everything from the paella to the cassoulet and the more regular fare like bread pudding and pumpkin cheesecakes. The Frascati serves the most delightful of appetizers among European-themed restaurants CA SF with its range of pan-roasted mussels that are served with fennel and the Pernod cream preparation that is brilliantly done.
Harris’ (2100 Van Ness Avenue)
The Harris’ is unlike the typical Bay Area restaurants CA SF and intentionally ensures that its meat is cooked in the most comprehensive manner. The fare is unfussy and you will not find too much of decoration on the porterhouse. Similarly, the filet mignon and grilled foie gras too are not presented very lavishly but taste just as good as anywhere else in San Francisco. The Harris’ enjoys a certain edge over some of the more fancy-looking Russian Hill restaurants CA SF with its sinfully-sweet ‘Baked Alaska’ that has a blend of ice-cream, caramel and rum sauce.
