Ferry Building - quick guide


The Ferry Building has some great restaurants and places to buy food.

For all your fresh produce needs, stock up on Saturdays at the Farmer's Market. You can sign up here to be kept in the loop. You can get farm fresh produce at any of the produce places inside the Ferry Building on any day, too.

Here's how you can make your own picnic:
Pop into Acme Bread for some bread. For great artisinal cheese, stop by Cowgirl Creamery. If you would like some ham, stop by Golden Gate Meat Company. To drink, how about a bottle of wine from Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant? Get some dessert at Miette or Ciao Bella Gelato. Eat it outside watching the ferries come and go, or across the way in the grassy park.

However, you may prefer to leave the food-making to the experts at Slanted Door (interesting takes on Vietnamese food), Hog Island Oyster Company (excellent oysters from Tomales Bay), Mastrelli's Delicatessen (a classic Italian deli), delica rf-1 (a Japanese deli), or a burger, fries & a shake from Taylor's Refresher.

If you're after something a bit different, stop by Far West Fungi for msurhooms, Imperial Tea Court for teas, or Stonehouse for olive oils.

That still leaves over 20 other places to check out.
