Laura’s Recommendations for Walkable Restaurants and Shops
Coffee & Breakfast
On Lawton (one block North) and 43rd, this is the closest and the best coffee around – they roast their own. They have delicious home-baked pastries too. There’s outdoor seating.

An easy stop on the way to the beach on Noriega and 44th. Scrumptious brownies. Their breakfast sandwich on old fashioned biscuit is hearty and D-lish. The parklette outside is quite the local hang-out spot. Right across the street, One Cup at a Time has all kinds of sandwiches, bagels and falafel.

Sit in the outdoor parklet on weekends (only) and enjoy possibly the best scones anywhere, ever. All of their unique, artisanal pastries are delicious.

Dinner - non-Asian
At Judah and 45th. Probably the best restaurant in this neighborhood and beyond – known for their fresh bread, delicious small plates, good wine. The menu is relatively small but everything is great. Can fill up so have a plan B.

A little longer walk, located on the Great Highway across the street from the beach. It has great breakfast, lunch and dinner menus with lots of variety, a microbrewery, an expansive view of the ocean, and original 1930s murals in the lobby downstairs. Not cheap and not overpriced. In the same building on the ground floor in the back, at the end of Golden Gate Park, is its other restaurant, Park Side which has a full bar and a more picnic style menu with outdoor seating on the lawn, great place to go on a nice day, good for kids and dogs and groups.

The Outer Sunset was so lucky that this gem opened up here. Stepped-up quality fish-taco place that also sells fresh-as-it-gets fish by the pound. They serve nice local wines and take pride in their ingredients. Super casual, with pic-nic bench-type seating.

A three block walk at Judah and 40th. The best Mexican menu around. Authentic home-cooked dishes and great margaritas. Parklet with heaters. Great sushi and pizza places right next door in case the group wants different kinds of food.

Dinner - Asian
Just 3 blocks away on Judah at 40th, this is my top pick. Not only because Tazaki, May, and John are like family to me, but because the sushi is super fresh, comes in beautiful generous slabs, and is well priced. They have great cooked food too, especially their udon noodle soup. Tazaki is a neighborhood favorite for good reason. (Closed Monday!)

The Korean restaurant on Noriega is authentic and very popular. It books up. From the outside it looks like someone’s garage, but inside, the vibe is nice.

Vietnamese crab restaurant on Judah and 46th that is extremely popular. People come from all over the city for their garlic crab. It’s Zagat-rated and has valet parking, unheard of around here in little ol' Outer Sunset.

On Lincoln (5 blocks North toward Golden Gate Park) and 47th.
The best Thai within walking distance. However if you're hankering for Thai and can travel up to Irving and 24th, go to Marnee Thai for some of the best Thai food in the city. The owner is an oracle and her spontaneous readings can be rather mind-blowing.
