Ed Tecot's 48 good restaurants in the South Bay/Peninsula


Previous visitors may notice that the number of recommended restaurants has halved and that many previously listed restaurants are now gone. Some of them have simply closed for business, but mostly it's because I don't frequent restaurants as much as I have in the past. Only restaurants at which I have had a positive experience in the past 5 years are included.

Note that I only recommend the restaurant at the locations listed. In the past I've found locations to differ greatly. Some of the locations may be incorrect, but those that are will be very close to the city mentioned. In a few cases, this is intentional to ensure that another location is not accidentally recommended.
