    The bread course lands at multiple points during dinner, which tells you something about the team's priorities. By day, Troubadour is a bakery and sandwich shop run by two former SingleThread chefs who also operate nearby Quail and Condor. By night the same small room flips to a tasting menu of modern French-leaning California cooking. The San Francisco Chronicle named it among the county's top restaurants, and the LA Times put it on their California 101 list.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Croque monsieur

      “Things might kick off with a miniature play on the croque monsieur, blanketed with a sheet of black truffle; when it gushes with ham-flavor andGruyere sauce, you know you’re in for a good time.”

      San Francisco Chronicle
    • Chicken salad

      “There are composed sandwiches, like chicken salad with freshly made mayonnaise and pumpkin seed dukkah, and simpler, but no less delicious “grab and go” compositions, like turkey with soft cheese and herbs.”

      San Francisco Chronicle
    • Delicata squash

      “Think croque monsieur transformed into pâte à choux and tender, buttery delicata squash paired with kaluga caviar.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
