With well over three thousand restaurants crammed onto the small peninsula, and scores of bars and cafes open all day,
eating
in San Francisco is never difficult. Eating is
the
culture in this town, with excellent food often at modest prices. Be warned, though - San Francisco closes early, and you'll be struggling to get served much after 10pm.
Mexican
food is big in the Mission,
Italian
places abound in North Beach, and, of course, Chinatown naturally has plenty of
Chinese
, while
Japan Center
- the heart of Japantown, located at Post between Geary, Laguna and Fillmore, a mile west of Union Square - boasts a few fine Japanese places. In health-conscious San Francisco you'll find
vegetarian
entrees on every menu and quite a few entirely vegetarian restaurants. With the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma Valley on the city's doorstep, quality
wines
have a high profile in most San Francisco restaurants. State law prohibits
smoking
in all restaurants, cafes and bars, as evidenced by crowds of people puffing illicitly on the pavements. Other useful information
