Bouche (Nob Hill)
This tiny, candlelit French restaurant is the kind of thing you'd stumble upon in Paris. The chef cooked at Coi, so vegetable dishes that sound basic (brown-butter carrots) can be surprisingly elegant. Grab a seat on the loft level by the windows, and take advantage of the late-night hours. It's open until 1 am. 603 Bush St., 415-956-0396
Maven (Lower Haight)
One of the few upwardly mobile restaurants in this neighborhood focuses on creative cocktails and an eclectic menu. Duck sliders with shiitake mushrooms are great, but the menu dips into all sorts of cuisines such as calamari with Thai chiles. 598 Haight St., 415-829-7982
State Bird Provisions (Western Addition)
Husband and wife Nicole Krazinsky and Stuart Brioza have taken over a sliver of space to serve a fine-casual hybrid menu of a very eclectic sort, from potato chips with creme fraiche and salmon eggs to a cured beef-tongue pastrami sandwich and a dessert of peanut milk. 1529 Fillmore St., 415-795-1272
Southern Pacific Brewing Company (Mission)
Tucked discreetly on a dead end in an old machine slop, this new, expansive brewery has a soaring ceiling, a mezzanine level, and an outdoor patio. They make their own beer on the premises and serve few others to boot–a perfect pairing for a tasty Vietnamese sandwich stuffed with braised pork and cilantro. 620 Treat Ave., 415-341-0152
