Quince San Francisco

Quince sits on Pacific Avenue, housed in a former brick warehouse on the edge of the city. It holds three Michelin stars and ranks at no. 42 on La Liste. The room runs smart, featuring high ceilings and a restrained palette that mirrors the quiet, historic blocks between the financial district and the waterfront.

Most visitors to this area head toward the bustle of Chinatown or the dense high-rises nearby. Quince succeeds by doing the opposite. While its neighbours reflect the pace of the Financial District, the kitchen focuses on a farm-to-table Italian menu that demands a slower tempo. It is a more deliberate experience than the high-turnover bistros within a ten-minute walk of the Transamerica Pyramid, making it the choice for those who prefer craft over convenience.
