The Best Restaurants In San Jose

"Fitoor is the best new restaurant in Santana Row, if not the entire city, and it’s not hard to see why. While most restaurants at the shopping hellscape play it safe to please the masses, this dynamic Indian restaurant pushes boundaries. There’s so much creativity with each dish, like the soft-shell crab fried and drizzled with poriyal and tomato chutney, scallops bathed in peanut butter salan, and grilled branzino topped with coriander-mint pesto. It’s impossible to go wrong between these standouts and a huge selection of artful chaats and small plates. Don’t skip the daring cocktails, some of which use unexpected ingredients like black garlic and manchego cheese—they're a swanky compliment to this spot's sophisticated, jewel-toned space.
