Introducing San Francisco’s 2026 Eater Award Winners

The Eater Awards are a moment to reflect: They’re an occasion to think back on the best meals we had at new restaurants this year, the bites that made us dance a little in our seats, the drinks that made the tea at dinner even juicier. The Bay Area welcomed a brand new class of restaurants and bakeries to our shores, soothing (somewhat) the ache of heartbreaking restaurant closures that accompany each year.

When Chen scheduled pop-ups at local restaurants, the lines would stretch, seemingly endlessly, all the way around the block.
