Set in a handsome 1908 corner building on Divisadero, The Mill pairs old bones with a fresh, airy design – think soaring ceilings, whitewashed walls, and communal wood tables. It was born of a collaboration between Four Barrel Coffee and Josey Baker Bread – and draws crowds for its famously thick-cut, wood-fired toasts made of a various different types of bread topped with seasonal jams, nut butters, or avocado. 

Bar Jabroni is a restaurant that feels like a dinner party you can stroll into uninvited. Not only are the small plates and wine delicious, but the service and vibes are immaculate. 

It's beloved by many, so much so it's pretty hard to nab a spot at this place. But when you do it's totally worth it. Plates such as strawberry-guava salad, guinea hen sausage, halibut crudo and red trout with toasted hazelnut are passed around to be shared. The atmosphere is buzzy. And the wine list spot on. 

Casual hidden farm-to-table French bistro by Michelin-starred chef Dominique Crenn (of Atelier Crenn). The dishes are inspired by memories of her native region, Brittany, and the rustic cooking of her mother and grandmother.
