Say Cheese! Laura Werlin’s Guide to San Francisco’s Best Fromage

And if you’re headed out to a restaurant, what are the best places for a quality cheese offering? Among Werlin’s favorites are: Mission Cheese on Valencia, Amelie on Polk Street, she’s heard good things about High Treason on Clement Street and Wine Kitchen in Nopa, Birba (which boasts a gem of a courtyard) and Absinthe Brasserie & Bar, both in Hayes Valley. There’s also the San Francisco Wine and Cheese in the same neighborhood. Werlin says it is at the top of her “have-to-try-list.”
