Kokkari Estiatorio

"The funny thing is, I've been to Athens, and the food there wasn't nearly as good as what they're serving at Kokkari (Ko-kar-ee), one of my favorite restaurants in the city." Full review

"The best place in the city for sophisticated Greek food, this inviting, upscale Greek taverna lures diners to the border of North Beach and the Financial District to feast."

"Gorgeous room, rustic and elegant, with burning hearths and big floral arrangements. Friendly, slightly leering waiters add authentic Mediterranean flavor."

"The Kokkari serves stylish Greek food in a large, comfortable dining area with dark wood floors and a big, cozy fireplace."

"Consistently recognized as the top Greek restaurant in town, Kokkari relies on Hellenic staples like lamb and aubergine (eggplant), served separately or cooked together in a marvellous moussaka."

"Named for a small fishing village on the Aegean Sea, Kokkari is owned by the same partnership that runs Evvia Estiatorio in Palo Alto." Full review

"“High expectations are met” at this longtime, “world-class” Downtown Greek that “sets the bar” with its "electric atmosphere" and “irresistible” food." Full review

"Kokkari serves “Hellenic cuisine”—essentially an inventive and seasonal update of traditional Greek—that may indeed qualify as “food of the gods” as it's described." Full review

"Kokkari serves some of the best Mediterranean food in San Francisco in a massive space that doubles as a fancy living-room-cum-hunting-lodge." Full review
