Union Square is more than just shops and tourist spots; it is home to some excellent dining options. Bodega SF serves inventive Northern Vietnamese dishes, such as turmeric pancakes with caviar and creative cocktails. Ox + Tiger offers a changing six-course tasting menu that uniquely blends Japanese and Filipino flavors for an intimate dining experience. Joyride Pizza provides a satisfying alternative to traditional theater snacks with its Detroit-style pizza. These restaurants contribute to a vibrant culinary scene near Union Square.
A night at Bodega SF is full of surprises-the good kind, unlike accidentally sitting on a melted Ghirardelli chocolate square on the cable car. At this swanky Northern Vietnamese restaurant, savory turmeric pancakes are punched up with caviar, papaya salad is topped with crumbled beef jerky, and cocktails are infused with pandan and Vietnamese coffee.
San Francisco is a tasting menu town, and Ox + Tiger's six-course dinner is one of the most exciting. The constantly changing $125 menu is a mashup of Japanese and Filipino flavors, and all of the dishes taste genuinely different and new.
After a long afternoon of waving at the holiday window cats at Macy's or taking family photos by the Christmas tree, sitting in a cushy leather booth for a meal will be the most exciting thing to happen all day.
If you need something more substantive than a bucket of popcorn at the AMC Metreon, Joyride Pizza is here for you. The Detroit-style pies coming out of this counter-service spot, located across the theater in Yerba Buena Gardens, are hefty bricks-but you won't feel weighed down.
