1. Perry’s

A San Francisco institution, noted for its burgers and other all-American faves, including meatloaf, prime rib, and fried chicken.
2. Prego

Good, reliable Italian standards served with nonchalant elegance. It’s always busy but never so much so that you have a long wait.
3. Yoshida-Ya

One of the old-standby Japanese choices. Although the sushi is remarkable, it’s the yakitori (barbecue) that gives the place its ongoing reputation.
4. The Grove

It almost feels like a mountain lodge, with lounging furniture and roaring fire. The tempting menu offers entrées such as a leek and goat’s cheese tart or shepherd’s pie. Great coffee, too.
5. Miyako

The Japantown Mall is designed to resemble a typical Japanese village. This restaurant offers all Japanese delights, including udon (noodles in broth).
6. Absinthe

Like being air-lifted to a Paris bistro. Specials such as confit of Muscovy duck leg with prunes, Landais potatoes, and arugula.
7. Fritz

Belgian frites and crêpes and a patio where Europhiles can smoke.
8. Powell’s Place

Great soul food. The signature “Bar-B-Q” ribs are heavenly.
9. Bia’s Restaurant and Winebar

The top choice for Mediterranean cuisine.
10. People’s Café

For a cappuccino and a snack any time of day or night, this is a great hangout.
