USA/West: Pacifica, CA
Shangri-la by the Sea
Dining
San Francisco’s numerous world-class restaurants are a short jaunt from Pacifica, so they are a great option for any breakfast, lunch or dinner. Several Pacifica restaurants, however, are highly recommended.
Puerto 27, a “Peruvian kitchen and pisco bar,” serves delicious ceviche, Dungeness crab salad, roasted Idaho trout and braise pork shoulder. The two-story restaurant also provides ocean views.
Gorilla Barbecue is the place to devour top-quality smoked meats: pulled pork, beef brisket, ribs, Philly cheese steaks and chicken. It was featured on the Food Network’s TV show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” Sandwiches and some veggie offerings—portabella mushrooms, eggplant and zucchini—are also available.
Colombo’s Delicatessen sells fresh-baked bread daily and has a great sandwich menu that’s perfect for picnicking or anyone heading to the beach or Pacifica’s abundant walking trails. It also sells cold foods to go, including homemade ravioli, lasagna, frittatas, polenta and beef stew.
