Dalida

"Nothing says “important business meal” like lunch in a huge historic brick building overlooking a manicured lawn in a national historic landmark. The upscale Eastern Mediterranean restaurant in the Presidio serves great Turkish and Greek-inspired dishes like octopus with pork sujuk, oysters suleyman, and a New York strip big enough to feed the entire table. If a celebration is in order, cocktails are fun and inventive, like the Saturnalia highball with caramelized pineapple, yogurt, and Lebanese seven spice." - ricky rodriguez, julia chen 1, patrick wong

"Dalida added brunch service to their offerings, and the new menu mirrors what fans have come to know and love the restaurant for, marrying culinary traditions from the Mediterranean with a bounty of local influences. Try a creamy breakfast spread made with kaymak and strawberry rhubarb preserve, or a flatbread with pork sujuk, mornay sauce, and a poached egg, though the carnivores can rest easy knowing there’s a burger and half-chicken on the brunch menu, too." - Dianne de Guzman

"A restaurant in the Presidio that celebrates Eastern Mediterranean cuisine with a new dessert program led by pastry chef Deirdre Balao Rieutort-Louis. The menu features intricate dishes that blend Balao's signature style with regional flavors." - Flora Tsapovsky

"Nestled into the Presidio, Dalida serves Eastern Mediterranean cuisine that’s perfect for a date and can easily pair with a walk through the area’s picturesque natural spaces. But inside the stunning restaurant, the food and drinks will also vie for attention with dishes such as a 12-hour lamb tandoor and sea urchin tahdig, or the Anatolian martini made with olive oil-washed olive leaf gin with dry and blanc vermouths and olive brine. The dessert menu is also worth a glimpse if you’re looking to stretch out the night." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman

"Dalida packs a one-two punch. Located in San Francisco’s Presidio, it will feel like an adventure navigating through the park’s streets, and the reward is gorgeous views of the water, the Golden Gate Bridge, and lovely green spaces. Wrest yourself from the great outdoors and inside Dalida, you’ll find high-calibre Eastern Mediterranean food from chefs Laura and Sayat Ozyilmaz. Expect showstopper food such as their octopus and sujuk dish, as well as tahdig dressed in luxe items like uni and smoked trout roe. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, the Chefs Menu option for $75 will see the Ozyilmazes select dishes for your meal to guarantee a great time at the table." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
