On Wednesday, TripAdvisor introduced its 2021 Travelers’ Preference “Greatest of the Ideal” cafe awards, and only 1 San Francisco cafe designed the lower.
Kokkari Estiatorio came in 10th position on the yearly rating in the “High-quality Eating” classification.
“Generally the greatest,” reads one particular of the opinions on its TripAdvisor web page.
Kokkari has very long been an establishment in San Francisco, recognised for its wooden-fired rotisserie meats and its Grecian flavors.
More than two decades previous, Kokkari seems a fairly harmless and uncomplicated option. As previous San Francisco Chronicle food stuff critic Michael Bauer wrote of the Economic District cafe in 2015: “With the smell of oregano and burning embers, diners could visualize them selves on the Greek Isles. For people who dream of likely there, the uncomplicated, pure food stuff at Kokkari is an inducement to satisfy that desire.”
TripAdvisor’s restaurant awards are calculated based on the “good quality and amount of traveler opinions and ratings” from Jan. 1, 2020, to April 30, 2021. Awards this yr ended up supplied in eight groups: high-quality eating, day-to-day eats, swift bites, picture-excellent restaurants, day night time, very best brunch places, best new places to eat and very best vegan places.
Kokkari was not the only Bay Area establishment to make the lower in the fine eating class. Three North Bay eating places also clocked in on the checklist, including Valette in Healdsburg (No. 17), The French Laundry in Yountville (No. 21) and Bistro Jeanty (No. 22), also in Yountville.
Gott’s Roadside in St. Helena also produced the listing for very best swift bites, clocking in at No. 15.
