Suggestions for Dining and Drinking near Palo Alto

Nathan J. • July 22, 2020Some of the best chicken and paneer tikka masala in the Bay Area. They grill the chicken perfectly. Juicy, tender, and with the right amount of flavor and spice. Delightful.

Mike W. • March 17, 2014This is Greek food done right in an upscale atmosphere. Don't miss the Saghanaki, Octapodaki tou Yiorgou, or Kokinisto me Manestra and read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below!!

Dan R. • December 25, 2016It's in the most amazing space, easily the best iteration of a blue bottle. Possibly the best iteration of a coffee shop. The food is excellent, and (as at any blue bottle), get a NOLA or a cortado.

Jennifer O. • March 13, 2018Red Velvet Cupcakes are my top pick, followed by Chocolate Coconut, and Carrot.

Katherine R. • July 13, 2019Incredible vegetarian fare!! Can’t get enough of true food :)

Mike W. • October 7, 2014Come for pizza, stay for killer Italian cocktails & knock-out starters like Burrata, Chilled Tripe, & Meatballs. Don't miss the Napoletana or Carbonara Pizza and read about it on WinstonWanders below!

J J. • February 21Best bagels in the Peninsula & S. Bay. Maybe even better than Daily Driver in SF as far as originality goes. Perfect chewy texture and mild crunchy exterior. Excellent service. Love this place!

David X. • September 14, 2016these sandwiches will make you swoooon. the Dutch crunch bread is fantastic, and you should try the chicken curry sandwich if you're into that

Radamantis T. • July 14, 2018The ramen is fantastic, and the kitchen is vibrant and full of life, I was lucky to sit at the bar, great experience, this is like a Ramen place in Japan but in South bay

Ziyan C. • January 25, 2012three words: iced mint mojito

Catherine M. • May 13, 2018Loved their mocha with freshly ground cacao beans from Ecuador with quality simple syrup (or maple syrup). My 7-yr-old enjoyed her handmade chocolate milk (organic cow's milk with a dash of Nutella).

Nick Y. • September 6, 2018Excellent food, great service, but Palo Alto prices and cramped seating inside.

Mohammed H. • December 10, 2017The best breakfast in Palo Alto. Omelets and Vanilla shake among the best.

Paul M. • January 31, 2019Gotta to with a classic — Strawberry Matcha Latte (small, Oatly oat milk, no toppings.) Soooo creamy, perfect matcha taste, and just enough sweet from the berries.

Maya Z. • July 21, 2013The best humus in the Bay Area . Worth the wait or better - take away to eat in the park near by.

JH H. • May 26, 2022The. Hype. Is. Real! The Honey Lavender and Olive Oil are some of their classics for a reason 😋

Musa T. • January 8, 2013Possibly my fave restaurant in the world, a must visit when in Palo Alto.

Richard J. • September 3, 2020Nicely curated wines and snacks!

Elynn L. • November 8, 2015Amazing tofu soup. One of my favorite Korean places, ever. I usually go for the mushroom tofu soup, but it's all good. I love the banchan here too! Very authentic, great and fast service!

Kolomeetz • May 29, 2011It seems, the best steaks in Palo Alto. Extremely good with mashed garlic potatoes.

Chris M. • March 16, 2022Probably the best brunch place in town. Come early to find a seat. The latte is awesome and the fried chicken maple is divine. 10/10

Gnat B. • March 24, 2018Fantastic Italian restaurant next to Stanford Hospital. Kid friendly considering it’s somewhat upscale. Squid spaghetti with clams was solid and the pizza on point. Full bar with local beers on draft

Karla • November 1, 2012A nice alternative to running into Starbucks, Pete's or even Philz. Can't go wrong with the pastries, sweet or savory.

Irina B. • September 4, 2018If you're looking for an event location with an outdoor setting in Palo Alto, this is the place.

Roderick G. • March 30, 2013Great sandwiches. Go for the "Rueben!" You won't be disappointed.

Serious Eats • September 9, 2013The extensive rum selection and cocktails are the highlight, accompanied by excellent, often spicy cuisine. Get the camarones al majo with a Rum Manhattan. Definitely request the latter served up.

Doug B. • October 6, 2013Start with a Tesora then work your way darker/lighter to find your favorite. Single cup brewing takes time. Be patient! It's worth the extra time. The cookies are awesome: try the candied popcorn one.

Christian D. • May 30, 2017Great salads! The hummus salad had little hummus but great taste. Good portion too.

Sam T. • March 29, 2013By far better than both of the Fountains. Best breakfast and lunch spot in town, I come here at least twice a week. All-American is the best way to start the day

Adrienne L. • September 1, 2014The Wild Hawaiian mero with lobster, trumpet mushrooms, bell pepper miso, and bonito is to die for.
