Chronicle Restaurant Naides is the city’s first dedicated Filipino tasting menu. Though informed by seasonality, Naides isn't a Californian-style restaurant. Rather, every dish emphasizes ingredients native to the Philippines, such as pili nuts and calamanisi. Dishes can seem visually avant garde, but the progression of courses is high octane.

“Restaurant Naides is the Filipino fine-dining restaurant from couple Patrick Gabon and Celine Wuu, situated in San Francisco’s Nob Hill neighborhood. Gabon pulls from his Filipino heritage and cooking background, formed at Sons & Daughters and Restaurant Milka. Think a sour sinigang soup reimagined with dry-aged beef stock flavored with tamarind (and then clarified), or a pandesal bread course served with chicken-based sisig, a chicken liver spread, and pickled green papayas. Meanwhile, Wuu runs the front of house and the restaurant’s drink program, including the wine offerings and Naides’s house-made nonalcoholic beverage pairings.

Filipino food is underrepresented in the fine dining space, and Naides is one of the few restaurants in the United States to try the cuisine at this level. Classic dishes are reimagined by Gabon, such as sinigang, the sour, tamarind-based soup that here includes abalone and is made with dry-aged beef stock before it’s meticulously plated for diners. Even the bread course is thoughtful, with soft pandesal accompanied by Gabon’s take on chicken sisig and pickles on the side. **Know before you go:** Restaurant Naides offers a well-considered wine”
