Top restaurants in marin county, san francisco

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS Tony Tiburon (a half hour from San Francisco) offers stylish boutiques, plus wine-tasting rooms such as Squalo Vino and a brand-new Michael Mina restaurant, the Bungalow

Kitchen, just steps from the ferry landing. Home cooks will love browsing Local Spicery with its more than 550 spices, herbs and salts; and an old-fashioned candy emporium, the Candy Store 

on Main Street, is famed for its classic sweets (handmade fudge, anyone?). Sam’s Anchor Cafe is the locals’ choice for fresh seafood and drinks on the dockside terrace with superlative views

of Angel Island and the San Francisco skyline. The quaint town also has new late-night ferry service (tickets must be purchased in advance) linking it to San Francisco on Thursday, Friday

and Saturday nights. In the bucolic burg of Corte Madera, famed bookseller Book Passage has become a bookstore-cum-university, with a rich and ever-changing schedule of author events,

language classes, literary salons and writing workshops. To the west, two-street Point Reyes Station (population 350) is a marvelous microcosm of West Marin County. One of the country’s most

celebrated cheese-makers, Cowgirl Creamery, is headquartered here (its Mt Tam triple cream is a taste of heaven), as is the enchantingly eclectic Toby’s Feed Barn, which sells everything

from hay to handmade hats to high-end candles, and also houses an art gallery that showcases local artists. Mount Tamalpais, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the Point Reyes

National Seashore offer exhilarating beaches, meadows, hiking trails and panoramas of the entire Bay Area and beyond. And Muir Woods is a world-class attraction renowned for its majestic

redwood trees, the tallest living things on the planet and ancient as well; the oldest tree in the park is at least 1,200 years old. That’s enough to give even a tech titan pause.
