Below are some snapshots of recommended dishes in San Francisco, taken from dining experiences over the past couple of weeks….it includes The Wharf and Fog Harbor along/near The Embarcadero, Limon in the Mission and Paul K in Hayes Valley.
Fresh Oysters Promise to Impress on The Wharf along The Embarcadero. Ask for him large – they have as much taste as the smaller ones.
Tuna Coated with Spicy Pepper on the The Embarcadero.
Syrian Spiced Duck Breast, Spelt, Grilled Figs, Hazelnuts, Watercress at Paul K on Gough.
Roast. Tomatoes. White Beans. Rosemary. Succulent. Tender. Incredible.
Risotto, Heirloom Tomatoes, Basil, Melted Pecorino Cheese at Paul K on Gough.
Aroz con Mariscos – Peruvian-style Paella made with Saffron Rice, Mixed Seafood, Spicy Pimento Sauce and Roasted Red Peppers at Limon on Valencia Street (a much better choice than the dish sitting behind it: Grilled Octopus on a Bed of Mashed Potatoes which was too Rubbery and needed the Mash to counter the tough texture and lack of taste).
Ceviche Nikkei de Atun – Sushi Grade Ahi Tuna with Mushrooms and Sesame Seeds in Soy Sauce-Infused Leche de Tigre at Limon on Valencia Street. The sauce and the mushrooms make this a unique dish and compliment the Very Tender and Tasty Tuna.
