Two weeks ago, Bon Appetit released their list for America's Best New Restaurants 2015. Six San Francisco eateries were in the running: Aatxe, Al's Place, Lazy Bear, Liholiho Yacht Club, The Progress and Rintaro.
This morning, the Hot 10 were announced: Rintaro squeezed in at number 8 (and was called charming, we're blushing), and our very own Al's Place, tucked into the Mission on the corner of 26th and Valencia, graces the number one spot. We're no stranger to having some of the best restaurants in the country—last year, Tosca Cafe came in at #4, and in 2013 Saison came in at #2. But this is the first time since 2012 (when State Bird Provisions took the title) that a San Francisco eatery has been awarded the title of Bon Ap's Best new restaurant in America, and we couldn't be happier about it.
You can read all about how BA chose Al's here. And then, you'd better make a reservation.
