SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Two Bay Area restaurants made Yelp’s list of the “Top 100 Places to Eat” in the U.S. in 2026, and no local spots cracked the top 50.
The list ranks “the highest-reviewed restaurants, diners, fast-casual spots, food halls, and more — all ranked by the Yelp community,” the company said.
According to Yelp, The Bay Area’s best restaurants are a pair of San Francisco brunch spots. Lapisara Eatery at the corner of Post and Jones streets was the highest ranking local restaurant on the list, ranking 54th overall.

The top SF brunch spot at the time was Mr. East Kitchen — per the 2024 list — ranking as the 10th best brunch spot in the U.S. Mr. East Kitchen was not included in Yelp’s “Top 100 Places to Eat” in 2026.
