If it is a sunny evening, have a drink at Medjool's "sky terrace", the only rooftop bar in the city. Beautiful panoramas, beautiful people. The drinks and food are slightly less beautiful, but you come here for the 360 degree drop dead gorgeous views.

Delfina is arguably the finest neighbourhood restaurant in the city, and is reasonably priced. It is located in the Mission Dolores part of town, on 18th Street, just a block from the lovely Dolores Park.

That section of 18th Street is food heaven: along with Delfina there's a Sicilian style pizzeria, a wonderful bakery (Tartine), and the best retro organic grocery in town (Buy Rite).

Delfina gets everything right: design, ambience, service, and, most of all, the food, which is Californian/Italian and simply perfect. Book a table before you visit the city, as this place is hugely popular. The wait staff are Mission hipsters.

3621 18th Street, at Guerrero. Take the J Church muni, get off at 18th St, and walk 1.5 blocks towards the Mission (away from the Castro);
