Maren Caruso San Francisco is a food lover’s paradise where exceptional cuisine can be found on practically every corner. Although dinner is arguably city dwellers’ favorite time to eat out, it’s followed by brunch , that (mostly) weekend dining indulgence where excess is celebrated and creativity reigns.

Here, we highlight 10 top brunch spots in San Francisco. Dalida Dalida is a must-visit for anyone interested in unique Mediterranean cuisine. Chef couple Laura and Sayat Ozyilmaz have created a beautiful and welcoming restaurant that reflects a distinctive point of view.

Sayat grew up in Istanbul and Laura hails from Mexico. The two met at the Culinary Institute of America in New York. At their airy and bird-print-wallpaper-clad Presidio eatery, you’ll find paper-thin, perfectly cooked octopus with flavorful pork sujuk (a sausage), crispy tahdig (a Persian rice dish) with silky uni and smoked trout roe and succulent Aleppo half chicken.

Though all of the food is hearty, complex and elegant, the most memorable brunch dish is the flatbread with mornay, sujuk and poached egg. It’s a messy delight that’s incredibly satisfying. There’s also a diverse and appealing beverage menu with mocktail options and international wines from Greece, Armenia and Lebanon.

Bravo’s Top Chef fans should note that Laura appeared in the most recent season and placed fourth. If you’re lucky, the down-t.
