Rose Cantine

Located next to the Commodore Hotel on Sutter Street near downtown San Francisco, Canteen is one of the best places to eat in the city - very good food in a tiny space that looks like a diner. There are four booths that each seat four, and a long bar, also for dining. Given the tight space, it is nearly impossible to get a reservation but it’s worth the trouble.

What to order: the menu changes regularly. I love the ragout of wild mushrooms and the vanilla soufflé is the best I’ve ever tasted. The crêpe au chocolat is divine!
