and the best pão de queijo (Brazilian cheese rolls) and espresso in town go to Pão de Queijo Hadock Lobo (Rua Hadock Lobo 1408). It’s a tiny store where they sell espresso and salgadinhos (Brazilian snacks). It’s also...

— salads, pasta, seafood, steaks and chops, pizza, plus incredible desserts. Full bar, thoughtful wine list. Plus everything’s reasonably priced. And the jazz brunch on Sunday pairs up some L.A.'s greatest guitarists....

is nice, but it’s still Berkeley Bowl for produce and bulk items, Whole Foods for cheese. I like the fish store at Markethall – Hapuku? - I’ve been happy with what I’ve bought there. The meat store at MH...

, they now have a Kyoto style iced coffee. Also new to their drinks menu are espresso con panna, lemonade, and some beer/wine. This is all I can remember from the top of my head.

to go out once or twice a week and pretty much eat what I wanted, including wine and desserts. I also regularly ate more than WW allows; it just didn’t seem like enough food to me. I did eat less fat and refined...

i must disagree; i find yank sing very overpriced, very inauthentic, and full of tourists guided by tourbooks. honey walnut prawns, red cabbage salad with candied walnuts, those cream cheese-crab wontons, chicken satay, and other...

It would help if you gave us an idea of the pickiness of your friend...no seafood? No vegetables? No spice? No organ meats? No cheese? In terms of the quality of food, though, as well as ambience, I think you’d be happy with...

Unless Mijares #2 has had surgery done to their drinks license lately, those “margaritas” they serve are a bottled wine-based beverage. We discovered that just before – thank God! - we’d ordered a thumpin'...

Why does everyone have such a hate-on for Tex-Mex? On the Toronto Board all there is is wining about how we don’t have Mexican and they dis Tex-Mex in the same breath? Does it always have to be compared to Mexican? Other...

better than wine list. Ping Pang Pong was good and the place was packed, I only wished I had seen the English menu before paying, so I could have ordered educated adventurous fare. (It is on the side by the cash register)

I ended up here. I had my first shabu shabu experience many years ago when it was probably under different ownership. I thought it was nice and the ice cream (plum wine) was very good. Took too long though. I only get an hour for...

The yuppie influx to Noe Valley in the late 70s and early 80s drove out some hippies living in low-rent flats (others remain thanks to rent control), resulting in positive additions like the 24th Street Cheese Company, Little...

all the right notes, though service can sometimes be flaky (welcome to South Beach); a bit more laid back, less scene-y than Table 8. I like Sardinia quite a bit. Very nice vegetable, cheese and salumi antipasti, some good pastas,...
