The Pickwick Hotel’s Top 5 Local Dining Picks

We love our downtown San Francisco location for so many reasons. Not least of which are the numerous wonderful restaurants within a few blocks of the hotel! From classic American diner fare to upscale and inventive fusion cuisine, the world of dining is at your fingertips when you stay at The Pickwick Hotel. We hope you enjoy visiting our top 5 local dining picks!

1. SOMA Restaurant and Bar
   This new addition to San Francisco’s culinary landscape is located right here at The Pickwick Hotel! From the fresh warm bread you are served upon arrival, to the beautifully presented and delicious entrees, to decadent desserts, each part of SOMA’s menu is carefully executed and delicious. SOMA is an great place to dine for a quiet lunch or a comforting dinner your first night in town.




2. 54 Mint
   Located in Mint Plaza, 54 Mint is just across the street from The Pickwick and is an excellent choice for authentic Italian fare. The charcuterie is impeccable and each dish is delicious and expertly prepared. 54 Mint boasts a wonderful Italian wine list as well. Not to be missed!




3. Bluestem Brasserie
   Also new on the scene, Bluestem Brasserie is only a few blocks away from The Pickwick. Make a reservation for dinner or show up last minute to sit in their chic lounge and enjoy expertly crafted cocktails and appetizers. The menu is meat-centric but the soups, seasonal salads and pasta offerings are just as excellent.




4. Out The Door
   Perhaps receiving a dining recommendation for a local shopping mall food court makes you do a double take. We don’t blame you! However, once you visit local restaurateur Charles Phan’s Out The Door in the Westfield San Francisco Centre food court, you’ll never see food court dining the same way again. At Out The Door you have the option to sit down for full table service or order food to go at a separate counter. Out The Door is the more casual younger sister to the Ferry Building’s Slanted Door and serves delicious Vietnamese food. We recommend the steam buns. Delicious!




5. Annabelle’s Bar and Bistro
   Annabelle’s Bar and Bistro is only a block away from The Pickwick and serves deliciously comforting American fare. Sit at the bar and relax or grab a table and have a meal. Annabelle’s is an unassuming yet an excellent dining establishment. Great pizza too!
