50 Best Mediterranean Restaurants near Sausalito

“Zalta catered an event at our house and did a great job! Our group was mostly vegetarian so we went with an all-veggie meal, and it was comprehensive, lots of good veggie proteins, generous portions, and so, so delicious. Our guests, many of whom were not vegetarian, raved. They have many good non-veggie options as well, which we've enjoyed b the restaurant. I'm a heavy researcher when it comes to catering, and I can honestly say that for a mid-large event, I wouldn't look any further for a great catering experience, veggie or not.“

“everything about the restaurant, from the heated outdoor dining, people who work there, the food so deliciously great especially the one that prepares and cook it, THE CHEFS, amazingly incredible they are and not so pricey above all.“

“Welcome to heaven on earth. SF local and either best resturant I've ever been at or tied for first with Han Il Kwan II. Ridiculous quality and exceptional taste. Highly reccomend.“

“I lived in the Middle East and what Mezze and Mooore offers is of the same high standard as the best restaurants in Beirut.“

“Calamari was the best! Go and get it“

“I could'nt've (<- check out my contraction) been more happy at dinner. The food was great, the owners and employees were kind, and it wasn't too loud.We ate around the menu that day, it's not a massive menu, but everything on the list can fend for itself. For starters we tried their crazy-crazy eggs with shrimp and some special sauce. I wasn't familiar with it but it was good. We also got this big folded over thing called Brik. It reminded me of some Moroccan treats that are a lot smaller, but this was more of an appetizer with potatoes and capers. It was really good!We ended up getting Lamb Tajine and Branzino for our main courses. I have to say, the Branzino was probably a little over-salted for most people, but it was right down my alley. I've never enjoyed a fish more. The Lamb was equally delicious, with the dark color and perfect seasoning.Dessert..... Let me tell you about dessert. First, the cream looked delicious, then we knocked it over by accident onto my Baklava, then we ate both and smiled like the Grinch did (ear to ear). What an amazing place.The place is a little cramped, but it wasn't something that we were bothered by, it's the city. Even when the waiter shuffled in between the tables it wasn't like his butt cheeks were relaxing in your soup. It was just enough space. The place had light music in the background and a nice bar, it was a really nice place.“

“The ambiance of the space was delightful, characterized by high ceilings and generously sized tables that provided ample comfort and space to savor our meal. Offering both indoor and outdoor dining options, the outdoor area featured a portion shielded by plastic, ensuring protection from the elements. Additionally, a second-floor dining room overlooking the main indoor area seemed reserved for private functions. The cuisine impressed with its excellence and visually appealing presentation. Service was both friendly and attentive, and portion sizes were fitting for a fine dining experience. An added charm was the outdoor movie screenings against the establishment's wall, which lent its name. Highly recommended.“

“What a great local spot to have that is something so different than other spots.I ordered Ciblir - 7/5 one of the best things I’ve ever eaten, wife tired the Burrata and Fatoush salad 4/5. We also split a Simit with feta olives and honey 5/5 .Delicious, satisfying and doesn’t weigh you down.“

“Octopus was very very delicious“

“What a lovely place! From the beautiful space with high ceilings and natural light to the delicious food, we had such a wonderful experience dining here. We had a Wednesday night reservation at 6:30pm and upon arrive the main dining room was fairly empty. With that being said, it gave us time to appreciate the space and all of the beautiful details. While I was wrapped up mostly in great conversations throughout out meal, everything we ate was so tasty! From our beautiful and vibrant amuse bouche to our final bites of dessert, not only did we leave full but also satisfied. Among my favorite bites ordered: Wood Fired Flower Bread, Crunchy Shrimps and the Manti dumplngs were among my favorite starters. As for the entrees, I could have done without the Wheatberry Risotto, but the Branzino and Lamb Chops are standout dishes I would definitely order again without hesitation! I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but as a group we ordered the Turkish Donuts which I had a taste of. The dessert was rich and decadent (and not overly sweet!) I'd recommend Taksim to just about anyone for a range of occasions and dietary accommodations. They have a little bit for everyone and with their excellent service and high quality of food, it's hard to go wrong!“

“Roast chicken is delicious!“

“A place on 24th St., the salvation to have a coffee, eat a good sandwich, have a beer and if you like everything Italian you will find it here! The guys are very friendly and the owner can't even speak of, I really liked it, I recommend it!“

“"Breaking bread" and the octopus were the only two good dishes we had. The salads, baklava, and grilled oysters were just okay while the lamb and stuffed squid entrees were incredibly bland. I'd say this is your classic trendy "small plates meant for sharing" restaurant that has all the hype and none of the actual delivery. Prices are ridiculous for the portion sizes. Service was attentive but cold. Their menu seemed super interesting, so I'd go back one more time to give them another shot. But overall, I wasn't terribly impressed by my first visit.“

“I really enjoyed stopping by here. The family who run this little place are very kind and the atmosphere is charming. I got the kisir & shakshuka, along with the chicha morada to drink. Everything was delicious! They also have small, tasty pitas. Updated from previous review on 2023-07-06“

“there were 4 of us and only 1 person had been to Insalata before. We ate indoors but there is outside seating when weather permits. Room in inviting and has a good vibe. We had a bit of a wait to be seated but not annoyingly long. Once seated service was attentive and professional. Tremendous menu-lots of options for appetizers as well as entrees. Food was well prepared and beautifully presented. Good wine list, too. wonderful, wonderful evening“

“Good Turkish restaurant, we got manti which was good but not that hot, beyti kebab was really good. Check their dessert menu baklava was delicious, i also got a Turkish tea, but honestly i don't think that its real Turkish black tea, tastes like regular. Anyway 4/5. Would recommend!“

“This is the best hummus I've had on this side of the ocean. Not only was the hummus delicious, but all the trimmings as well: pita, pickles, fries, mint tea, and more. The physical restaurant is also a lovely and welcoming space. Should be 5 stars, except for serving meat.“

“Great vibes - love the Turkish music and complimentary Turkish tea! The restaurant was immaculate, spotless clean! Food was fantastic and the prices were very reasonable. The amount of food, freshness and deliciousness are very much in order.The lamb and beef gemuse gyro kebab was excellent! It was exactly what I was hoping for (doener kebab). I look forward to trying the wrap in hopes that it's like the dueruem I ate back in Nuernberg.The rice pudding was top class!!! Perfectly creamy and lightly sweet and the top was bruleed masterfully.“

“Everything is always fabulous Barcha, Starting with the Levantine Agave cocktail! We then had The salad ( forgot the name), Moroccan Cigars, and the Octopus. Arguably the best octopus I've ever had... so tender me favorable. As a main course it I always hard to not order their duck, unique presentation w/ crispy wings ice, duck, and an egg on top.... Sauce is to die for. Their Tempranillo by the glass is a great pairing. Nice indoor and outdoor space, with a great vibe“

“Stopped in with my buddy before a Warriors game. Place is open, spacious and well lit so it's very inviting. We quickly found a seat at the bar for two about 20-30 min before game time. Ordered a few beers (great beer selection) and were sipping on drinks within 10 minutes of waking in the door. People sitting next us at bar were friendly and bartender (also part owner) was extremely helpful and attentive while we're there. We had already eaten but food on menu and at people tables looked very good. Will definitely make sure to stop by here next time I'm in the area with a little more time to dive into food and wine/beer menu.“

“Delicious food. Interesting menu. Try the cauliflower. Try the lamb. Try the börek. Very friendly staff. Nice outdoor Parklet. Intimate indoor tables.And don’t forget the Turkish beer.“

“Lovely place. Delicious food and great, interesting cocktails in a warm, inviting environment. We had a very nice brunch and I can't wait to come back. Finally got to try Shakshuka (which I saw on the Real Housewives of NY, haha). It was very tasty! ?“

“My friend and I had the BEST time here Saturday night!!! The service was amazing and everyone helping us was incredibly friendly and kind. Our servers went out of their way to make us feel special and were so much fun to interact with. They even came running out of the restaurant after us to give me my phone that I had left on the table by accident! Highly recommend - great atmosphere, delicious eats, fabulous time!“

“Restaurant La Sarrasine is a French-style restaurant with French menus and dishes.Personally I wanted to taste the country galette and frankly I was not disappointed with a draft beer and a good coffee.The boss speaks French and there is even French music.I recommend it without any worries.“

“Yemen Kitchen is a hidden gem in the Tenderloin district. Arriving for Saturday lunch, we were greeted warmly by the owner/chef, who promptly started cooking after we placed our orders.The highlight of our meal was the roasted lamb - tender, succulent, and bursting with flavor. Served with spiced rice, a light salad, and stewed veggies, it was more than enough for two. We happily took the leftovers home for later.The stir-fry beef over hummus was a delightful fusion of flavors and textures. The beef was impeccably cooked, tender and juicy, while the housemade sauce on the side added a subtle kick without overwhelming the palate.The soft Tawa bread was perfect for sopping up the rich flavors of the lentil soup and hummus.The Yemeni chai and Basbousa semolina cake) completed a truly satisfying meal.With prices so reasonable, it's clear that this is a place that values both quality and affordability.Places like this, with their resilience surviving through COVID and skillful culinary abilities, remind me why San Francisco is such a great city. Hidden gems are to be discovered if you are adventurous. Don't forget to support local small businesses like Yemen Kitchen to help the local community in the city.“

“I had an amazing experience here! I unexpectedly stopped by here and went in for breakfast around 1:30pm. The owner was sitting table next to me so even they weren’t serving breakfast anymore he heard me ask and he told them to make me breakfast. I appreciated it so much. I ate avocado toast and iced latte and it was yummy. Shout out to the owner for making my day better ?“

“As an Asian I normally don’t go for sandwiches. This place, however, has hands down the tastiest sandwiches in town. Bread is light, warm and fresh. All the food they offer is of quality. I accidentally stumbled into this cafe when I had some errands downtown and I am glad to have discovered this little gem.“

“My quest for good falafels in the Bay area finally comes to and end. The crunch, the spices, the bread - perfect.Potatoes and eggs needed some salt - they were okayish, the Hummus, pita and falafels (even the stuffed ones) were awesome.Background: partly grew up in the Mediterranean. So I think I know good what good falafels should crunch and taste like.“

“great food! period. love it“

“I liked this atmospheric little place. Lovely interior with different cultural elements, attentive staff and fast service that’s what I really appreciate about it. Food was delicious too. We went with house mezze sampler, shish kabob and additional muhammara. We liked everything! Prices were reasonable. I’ll definitely come back again.“

“This is a fabulous restaurant within The Intercontinental on Howard. Bistro 888 is staffed by wonderful staff of The Intercontinental. The food shares a kitchen with the Michelin starred Luce. The staff tend to stay and remember returning guests. You can eat at the bar as an option, where you may meet both locals and travelers. The food is always delicious and reasonably priced, especially considering it's within a hotel, which often means overpriced meals. Our burger was a 10 of 10! Everything was great! We'll be back!!!“

“Great food, service & outdoor seating!“

“We ordered 2 Soltanis which was really good in portion. The service was also great, and the seating area outside was nice. We have tried much better Soltanis in other places, but it worth to try it, especially with the service and friendly people serving here.“

“Lovely atmosphere and service from the hostess to our servers. Menu is unique yet simple. Great for vegetarians looking for finer menu. Every bite was flavorful and delicious!“

“After a couple hours of hiking and walking around I found this bistro that had great reviews. Decided to check it out, and it’s as great as the rest of the reviews. Great service and delish food (gyro platter). Perfectly made the way I like it!“

“Great experience with Greek-inspired bowls. The meats in a salad bowl keeps things "light".This location can get pretty crowded and the chairs can be difficult to pull in/out. Squeezing between chairs can be tricky.Neighborhood was fun and felt safe here (early evening).“

“Everything looks just amazing. Truly Mediterranean came highly recommended!“

“I came here based on a recommendation from a coworker. Novi was a pleasant experience! The service was prompt and the sangria fizz was absolutely delicious.“

“Can’t appreciate this place more! Every time I yearn for Mediterranean food Sumac has been my place. Home away from home. The food I eat reminds the food my grandma used to make back home in the Mediterranean. They are always adding more top-notch items on their menu. I tried most of the items on the menu, I even catered food for some of the events I organized; go for it you will never be disappointed!!!“

“Great staff, super accommodating and my super burrito was delicious (definitely had a Mediterranean flair...yum!) Appreciate the care that they had for me especially since I was riding out a power outage a couple blocks away. Would definitely come back!“

“I love the taste of the food. Organic beef kebab rice bowl was die for it! Must try“

“اكل حلال اسعار في متناول اليد تعامل قمة في الذوق“

“A gem of a restaurant, this will be you go to favorite !“

“In the heart of San Francisco lies a culinary gem, a sanctuary where flavors mingle with defiance, and every bite is a declaration of resistance. This is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary outpost of the Palestinian struggle, a place where food transcends mere sustenance and becomes a weapon of solidarity. At Beit Rima, diners embark on a culinary adventure that eloquently communicates themes of culture, resilience, and the enduring quest for justice. From the moment you enter, you're welcomed into a warm embrace of tradition and heritage. My recent visit was nothing short of revelatory. Guided by the gracious owner, Samir, I embarked on a culinary expedition that left me nourished both in body and spirit. Embarking on a culinary journey rooted in tradition, I savored the classic flavors of lebna and ful beans, emblematic of traditional Arabic breakfast cuisine. The essence of culture and heritage permeated every bite. This experience served as a poignant reminder of the intrinsic link between food and memory, illustrating how nourishment extends beyond mere sustenance. But it was the Chicken Shish Tawook Plate that truly stole the show. Tender, succulent chicken marinated to perfection, served alongside Samir's hand-kneaded bread that was a revelation in itself. And let's not forget "mom's rice," a humble yet deeply flavorful accompaniment that elevated the dish to sublime heights. The garlic sauce was delicious. As I sat, sated and content, I couldn't resist the allure of dessert. The Muhallabia, with its delicate balance of sweetness and freshness, was the perfect finale to an unforgettable meal. The significance of this meal was intensified by the poignant reality of thousands of Palestinians enduring forced starvation due to war on their homeland. Beyond the exquisite flavors and meticulous preparation lies a deeper truth: food is a potent tool of resistance. In a world where injustice runs rampant and oppression knows no bounds, supporting Palestinian businesses like Beit Rima is a tangible act of solidarity. It's a way to denounce America's complicity in the ongoing genocide and stand in solidarity with a people who refuse to be silenced. In every dish, every morsel, I tasted the spirit of resilience, the defiance of a people who refuse to be erased. Free Palestine forever.“

“Great food at all levels. Super friendly staff, well motivated. Lamb burger perfectly cooked with savory complementary sauces and vegetables. Flatbread and babaganoush are a great pair. Homemade lemonade worth it.“

“The food is amazing you should try their flafle. It’s amazing and staff super nice fellas“

“Everything was deliciously good!“

“A gem of a restaurant, this will be you go to favorite !“

“Excellent food and service. Very tasty, filling and clean. A random DoorDasher took my order and the staff was super helpful getting the order right. Fantastic service! The beef and lamb plate was delicious and the chicken tacos were wonderful.“
