West Bluff Picnic Area

12 Perfect Picnic Spots in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Sometimes, a classic is a classic for all the right reasons. This grassy gathering spot just northwest of Crissy Field is hardly a well-kept local secret, and on some days the crowds or the rolling fog may spoil the atmosphere for your outing. But those afternoons when the Bay warms up and the sky turns that perfect shade of blue to clash with the soaring towers of the Golden Gate Bridge nearby are a special kind of San Francisco magic, one for which there really is no substitute. What to pack: Rillettes and salads from Routier Before rolling into the park, hit the brakes for Routier. The beautiful new French spot from the B. Patisserie team is rich in savory provisions, including swordfish rillettes and pork rillettes, perfect for smashing on a demi baguette, with a salad and a spritz on the side." - Eve Batey
