Restaurants near Kensington

“Adorable! Old school, great baked breads, good pastries🥐🥖 The morning bun flavor was amazing, but it was dense and too hard-chewy. No way I was going to get a plastic knife through it to cut in half in my car… I’ll definitely be steaming and then crisping it at home to make it as enjoyable as it should be😊
The chocolate croissant🥐 was good, but it was all soft…Had to also crisp that in the toaster oven at home. Plus the dark chocolate was a little overly sweet compared to most higher level chocolate croissants.
Staff is suuuper friendly, clearly regulars come and love this place for good reason… It’s charming and very worth coming to 👏”

“Rolls are perfect; Herbivore Dinosaur was the favorite of the 5 we ordered. The staff are extremely friendly & attentive. Location is conveniently above San Pablo & heavily congested areas. All around great dining experience.”

“Good people, good food, easy going place ... what's not to like about it?”

“I pick up salads and sandwiches here most weeks. The quality of the ingredients is excellent. I often find an interesting treat for myself too. Last week it was Lapo's brand fake negronis - sooo delicious.

It's purely take-out but there is a pretty outddors area with benches next to it”

“Perfect hometown style restaurant with diner vibes and great food. The service is quick, the food is incredible, and the biscuits are top tier.
My go-to meal is the corn cilantro pancake, because I can't really get that anywhere else.”

“The owner is a lovely woman who tastes everything in her store to recommend the best Dubai chocolates and teas and cheeses for your tastes, which I found touching. We loved finding Dutch honey drops here and porcini mushrooms, and HIGHLY recommend getting a cortado at the coffee bar.”

“My daughter and I love the Fried Sage Pizza and the Strozzapreti Bolognese and my twin grandsons love the Pepperoni Piza.”

“Great event! Will try the Bangers and Mash next time!”

“An absolute SF classic that lives up to the hype! The English cut prime rib was perfectly aged, tender, and juicy, spun tableside from the silver dome cart—pure theater. Loved the Yorkshire pudding, creamed spinach, and that massive baked potato. Cocktails are strong and old-school. The retro vibe with white tablecloths feels like stepping back in time. Reservations essential, but it's worth it for a special occasion meat-lover's feast.”

“The food in this restaurant is delicious, I hope you have time to try it.”

“Amazing food and wine, great view”

“hk lounge bistro is hands down my favorite hk style cantonese restaurant. you can't beat the freshness and flavors of the food, and the service is superb. everyone is so nice and i love seeing the same team each time we dine here. it's a sf treasure!”

“What an amazing culinary experience! We had a three course meal. The waiter was very helpful, friendly and had great recommendations! I highly recommend this place if you're in San Francisco!”

“I had wonderful food and received attentive service. The sushi rolls are wonderfully done.
However, the place itself can be a little cramped and loud, with open kitchen pushing oily smells in the close space which can be annoying”

“Their service is fast, friendly, and the food is delicious!!!”

“Fantastic food - as always. Service was disappointing during this visit - a bit haphazard for a 2 Michelin star set menu restaurant. Not the well oiled machine that we have experienced here before.”

“Holy Schnike!!! The food is incredibly delicious, the non-seafood versions I am getting are the most amazing tastes. The Wines paired with the dishes are inspired and spot on.”

“Tiki bar with an all-out Christmas theme Black Friday through New Year's. Staff was very friendly and attentive, they continously filled water glasses for us and changed the channel to the NY ball drop when we asked. Music was great.”

“Amazing savory breakfast/brunch option. It looked like it was popular spot for locals/regulars.
I did the pork skewers and it melted in my mouth!
The very kind man taking our orders also sent us off with a dessert snack. As we headed out we overhead a convo and it seems like this sweet business helps give food to people in need. Im a fan of this place and will have to come back when I visit again.”

“Definitely Best Tacos in Town! 🔥🍻🤤”

“The restaurant is beautiful, service is great, patacones were my favorite, also tried area and it was a fancy one nothing to do with the real one but was ok! Chicharrón was also good, loved the emapanadas sooo much”

“I am Italian. We passed by here by chance in 2017 and apparently 8 years later we are still talking about it. A dive into the past and a focaccia to remember; a bit on the soft side compared to the way we have them where I am from. Packed with care.”

“I have been twice and so far everything has been delicious. I need to go back a few more times to try everything on the menu. Don't forget to save room for dessert. The cocktails are fantastic.”

“Amazing service and food!!!!”

“Always delicious and awesome service!!!!”

“first try today and totally pleased!”

“My daughter took me and the hubby here for our Thanksgiving celebration since she couldn't come home (Sac) for actual Thanksgiving, we went to her. This was a night I won't soon forget! Having a nice meal with our daughter was a treat, the service was amazing and the food....OMG! Every bite of every dish I tasted was so so delicious! I can't get the butternut soup out of my head it was THAT good! We all ordered different food & shared bites with one another. This night was so enjoyable! Thank you, Sis & Thank you Mama Oakland!”
