The Hidden Gems

You may have heard that the best food in San Francisco is not always the most expensive, or even the most popular. This is true! The best food in San Francisco is not always where you think it’s going to be.

However, I’m here to tell you that this doesn’t mean your taste buds should be satisfied with anything less than perfection. As someone who has lived in this city for many years, I’ve discovered some great places that offer delicious meals at prices you can afford as a tourist (or just about anyone).

You’ll notice some of these restaurants are off the beaten path—but if your goal is to experience San Francisco as a local does, why not make an effort to find them? It’s worth it!

Why take a self-guided food tour?

Self-guided food tour has many advantages over a traditional guided walking tour: You can do it at your own pace. You can do it on your schedule. You can stop to take photos, eat what you want, and go to the places you want (and eat as much or as little as you want). You don’t need a group, just yourself and friends or family who would enjoy doing this exciting activity with you! You could even start this adventure at any time or day that suits your schedule.

You’ll see the city from new perspectives and learn about its history while enjoying delicious treats and snacks.
