INNER RICHMOND

EATS

We don’t know what we love more about this place: the bowl-sized cappuccino, diverse mimosa menu, or the Ricotta pancakes.

Menu

MARINA / COW HOLLOW

THE TIPSY PIG

The Tipsy Pig is an American Gastrotavern with a seasonal menu and a wide selection of unique beers. Spend a warm sunny day on their patio sipping a morning cocktail (try the Spicy Mary) and savoring good ole’ American comfort food (try the Goat Cheese Omelet).

COLE VALLEY

ZAZIE

This petite neighborhood French bistro is located in a historic schoolhouse in the heart of San Francisco. We ordered the sour cream poppyseed miracle pancakes with lemon curd and strawberry and never experienced such amazing pancakes. For dog lovers, come when they offer Bring Your Dog dinners.
