Savor Cafe - San Francisco (CA)

5 /5 Gavin Eldridge: Savor Cafe might just be my favorite restaurant in the city. The food feels home made - you can feel the effort put in to each dish. I’m vegan and appreciate how nearly every dish is already vegan and those that aren’t mostly all can be adjusted. I’ve been numerous times now and have never been disappointed. The menu switches up fairly often using seasonal vegetables which makes it always a new experience. Each dish is unique and has helped me find new flavors I enjoy and overcome previous biases I held for others. Really recommend the spanish melt sandwich! The owner is incredibly kind and knowledgeable - he’s usually always telling jokes and has been very generous to me after he’s recognized me coming in regularly. Check it out, you won’t regret it!

5 /5 Jeena James: One of the best restaurants we have been to, in a very long time! We were looking for a vegetarian spot and Savor is such an amazing local gem. The chef was really fun and took care of our group of 5. We ordered 5 dishes and each and every bite was delicious and SAVOR-y! Dont skip the soup they offer with the entrees. Also, theres a mean green sauce youre gonna fall in love it. Just let it happen! :)

5 /5 Elisa Han: I came here with my partner and we were genuinely impressed by the food, service and the atmosphere. The space is clean, cozy, and welcoming, with a cultured home kitchen feel rather than the usual sf café style. Our waiter (who I suspect might be the owner) was very personable and even memorized our order. He recommended the Hodo Tofu Sougar, which was excellent! It was flavorful, hearty, and filling. We also got the café mocha and jackfruit sandwich, both of which were very tasty as well. It is rare for me to give a full 5/5 in this city, especially for a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, but this place truly deserves it. I really enjoyed the “mom and pop” feel to it and the food tasted like an excellent home cooked meal made with a lot of care and intention.

5 /5 Rachel Fowler: I consider myself a soup girl, and the cauliflower lavender soup was the best soup I have had in San Francisco, if not the world. All the other dishes were amazing as well. My (non-veg) boyfriend loved the mushroom knaffe. Owner/Chef Mo was incredibly welcoming and fun to talk to - we felt like VIPs being checked on by the chef. This was the fanciest meal either of us have had in a while and we had no idea what elevated fare, depth of flavor, and beautiful platings were in store for us when we stopped for a leisurely Sunday lunch. Do not pass ‘go’ - come straight to this restaurant!!!

5 /5 Robert: I really enjoyed the well-prepared and innovative cuisine! Fresh ingredients of the season, skillful preparation, and gentle but rich flavors make every dish a delight. The welcoming owner/chef is quiet, kind and inviting. The fresh baked almond croissants were excellent. The mujumara, lentil soup and fattoush salad were all Arabic comfort foods, accessible to any palate. Most if not all of the food was vegan (not sure about the feta on the fattoush), though I’m not sure I would have guessed that from the dishes. I could eat here every day and will certainly make the trip across town again. The restaurant can be busy so maybe make a reservation if you can. Wonderful!!
