Experience
Route
Presidio Pizza Company
This red sauce Italian-American restaurant specializes in East Coast pizzas, available whole and by the slice. The casual eatery is a fun gathering spot for groups, but also a great stop for a quick bite solo.
b. patisserie
Viennoiserie are the highlight here, especially the award-winning kouign amann, a sugared croissant with a crisp exterior and buttery layers of laminated dough. You won’t go wrong with any of the sweets though.
El Polín Spring
With picnic tables, barbecue grills and restrooms, El Polín Spring is a great place for a picnic and to learn more about the history of the Presidio.
Practicalities
- The Presidio is free and open 24 hours a day

Uptaste
What is Uptaste? We’re something like a travel agency business (although we don’t sell flights or hotels). Instead, we specialise in finding the right place to eat, wherever and whenever you are, using location intelligence combined with expert and community curation. Uptaste destinations will rarely be restaurants; they’ll be shops, they’ll be street traders, they’ll be local markets, or some other easy-to-miss but hard-to-forget place.
