Mauerpark

Top choice in San Francisco


Break brot (bread) with friends, and share platters piled with wurst, salami and cheese. Raised by German immigrants in the Bay Area, Salome Buelow serves sustaining, unfussy, soulful fare: thick yogurt and nutty Emmantaler cheese accompany müsli, while pretzel bread and wheat beer make leberwurst (liverwurst) sing. Mauerpark is named after Berlin's demilitarized zone – this brot builds bridges, not walls.
