Ten Days, Ten Prices

Fall SF Restaurant Week runs Friday, October 16 through Sunday, October 25, 2026. The Golden Gate Restaurant Association runs the programme. Each restaurant on the list serves a set menu at one fixed price for the full ten days.

Brunch and lunch menus carry two or more items at $15, $25, $35 or $45. Dinner menus carry three or more items at $30, $45, $60, $75 or $90.

A guest names a price and a neighbourhood. The list answers the rest.

What the List Holds

The participating page carries 177 restaurants, 42 neighbourhood labels and 34 cuisine types. Three filters above the list search those sets. The menu column on each entry links to the restaurant's own menu page.

The Golden Gate Restaurant Association is a San Francisco non-profit, founded in 1936, and counts smaller independent restaurants among its members.

One warning before the desk uses the list. The About page links it as the Spring 2026 participant list, and it states the Fall 2026 list would be available October 2. Confirm a restaurant sits on the Fall roster before a guest walks.

Where the Density Sits

The Mission holds 14 entries, the largest cluster on the page. Union Square, the Financial District and the Richmond hold 12 each. The Marina, SOMA, Cow Hollow and the Tenderloin hold eight each. North Beach and the Castro hold seven. Fishermans Wharf and Yerba Buena hold six.

A guest standing at Union Square has 12 entries inside the same radius. A guest who wants Bernal Heights has three.

Routing a Guest to a $25 Lunch

Three Union Square entries run a $25 lunch. Corzetti serves Italian at lunch for $25 and dinner for $30. Kanpai Sushi Lounge serves Japanese at lunch for $25. The Post Room serves brunch and lunch at $25 and dinner for $60. Nine more Union Square entries sit inside the same radius, so the desk can offer a second option from the same answer.

Across the city, 44 entries carry a $25 brunch or lunch. Six carry a $15 brunch or lunch.

Routing a Guest to a $90 Dinner

Union Square holds three dinner entries at $90: ABSteak by Chef Akira Back, Alexander's Steakhouse and Mastro's Steakhouse. Fifteen entries citywide sit at the top of the dinner ladder.

Bernal Heights runs dinner only. Its three entries are 3rd Cousin at $90, Precita Social at $75 and Blue Plate at $45. A guest who asks for a Bernal Heights lunch has no entry on the list. Send that guest to the Mission, where Cafe de Olla serves brunch and lunch at $25 and Tacolicious on Valencia serves lunch at $25.

What the Guest Can Do at the Table

173 of the 177 entries offer indoor dining, 81 offer outdoor dining, 31 offer takeout and 15 offer delivery. Three list vegetarian options.

150 entries carry a Book a Table link. Most open an OpenTable profile. A handful open SevenRooms or ExploreTock. Participation does not require OpenTable, so an entry with no link still takes guests.

Three Questions at the Desk

Ask the meal, the price and the distance. Ninety-seven entries carry a brunch or lunch menu, 157 carry a dinner menu, and 77 carry both.

Seven entries sit under six labels outside San Francisco. Burlingame carries two, and Concord, Cupertino, San Jose, Sausalito and Treasure Island carry one each. A guest who plans to walk should hear which side of the list the desk is reading from.

What to Check Before Each Shift

Open the participating page on the morning of each of the ten days. Filter to the neighbourhoods within a short walk of the property. Write the $15, $25 and $30 entries on the desk card.

The programme asks every restaurant to hold its menu and price across all ten days, inside its own opening hours. A Saturday $25 booking carries the same menu as a Tuesday $25 booking, provided the restaurant opens that day.

Weekend tables fill first. Check the book before the guest does.
