The Most Affordable Restaurants In Russian Hill, San Francisco

If you want to feel like you’re in Spain without leaving San Francisco then Zarzuela is the place to go. There’s tapas, sangria and paella, authentic Spanish atmosphere and you’ll return home a little drunk on Spanish hospitality. The food is affordable since the plates are meant to be shared; they have imported cured Serrano ham, but it’s the seafood paella that steals the show.

This Japanese sushi place does not take reservations, and because of their excellent price to quality ratio, you might find yourself waiting for an hour before getting a taste of their fresh buttery salmon rolls. Elephant Sushi is a small restaurant and the menu is concise.

Leopold’s is a Bavarian style bar/restaurant. Waiters and waitresses wear raditional outfits and you can order a two-liter ‘boot’ draft beer. On those warm spring and summer evenings, you can also sit outside.

Frascati serves Mediterranean food with a Californian touch. The dishes are beautifully plated with strong, robust flavors and an excellent wine list complements the food. Their menu changes with the season to make sure you get the freshest, seasonal ingredients.

Maybe not the coziest ‘sit-down’ restaurant but for a fast bite, the quality is astonishing. They are inherently an Italian deli selling imported cheese and other Italian goodies, but their freshly made pasta dishes is the reason why you should visit The Italian HomeMade Company. Pick your (homemade before your eyes) pasta, choose your sauce andenjoy.

An upscale Vietnamese restaurant with French fusion cuisine is a delightful place for the fancier bowls of pho and plates of imperial rolls. Aux Delices has an extensive menu with plenty of seafood, meat and vegetarian dishes. Finish your night with a Vietnamese coffee.
