The best restaurants in Pleasanton, according to the experts: Michelin Guide and San Francisco Chronicle have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Sabio on Main comes out on top.

A backlit wine wall and a rolling library ladder set the mood at this upscale Californian restaurant on Pleasanton's main drag. The kitchen leans hard into hyper-seasonal cooking, sourcing from regenerative ranches and local farms, so the menu shifts whenever the season does. The room is dramatic without being fussy, which is roughly the tone the food takes too. It holds a spot in the Michelin Guide.

Sixteen dosa configurations is the move at this South Indian casual spot inside Stoneridge Mall, where the crepes come out shatteringly crisp and the kitchen doesn't treat mall traffic as an excuse to coast. The Hyderabad bandi dosa, stuffed with chopped vegetables in a lentil-ginger sauce, arrives with a tomato chutney worth ordering extra. The San Francisco Chronicle named it among the Bay Area's top South Asian restaurants, which is a lot to carry for a food court neighbor.
