Building a ten-day group itinerary on the $15 and $25 tiers

Fall SF Restaurant Week runs 16 to 25 October 2026 with 179 restaurants across 42 neighborhood labels. Six records publish a $15 brunch or lunch and 44 sit at $25 or below, with five labels outside the city.

Ten days and two published ladders

Fall SF Restaurant Week runs Friday 16 October to Sunday 25 October 2026. The Golden Gate Restaurant Association organises the programme. The association is a San Francisco non-profit 501(c)6 founded in 1936.

Brunch or lunch menus carry two or more items or courses at $15, $25, $35 or $45. Dinner menus carry three or more items or courses at $30, $45, $60, $75 or $90. A kitchen may list more than one point.

The participant list at /restaurants/ held 179 records across 42 neighborhood labels when this desk read the page on 14 October 2026.

Five fields to plan from

One roster record carries a name, a neighborhood label, a cuisine, a set of service tags and one or more price points. A booking link and a menu link sit beside those fields on most records.

The roster publishes no street address. A group planner builds the day from neighborhood labels. Walking times and transit legs need a separate map.

The roster publishes no party-size term, no group booking route and no deposit or cancellation term.

The $15 tier runs six records deep

Day-side points total 110 mentions on the roster. The $15 point holds six mentions. The $25 point holds 47. The $35 point holds 33. The $45 point holds 24.

Six records carry a $15 brunch or lunch. Café Melange sits in Civic Center. Cinderella Bakery & Cafe Balboa sits in Richmond. Cinderella Bakery & Cafe Mission sits in Mission. Creative Ideas Cafe sits in Bayview. Gumbo Social sits in Bayview. Hardwood Bar & Smokery sits in Mission Bay.

The $25 day-side point appears on 44 records. Mission holds five at $25 or below. Marina holds five. Richmond holds four. Civic Center, Financial District and Union Square hold three each.

Seventy-eight records carry a day-side tier and a dinner tier together. A planner can hold one address across two sittings on a kitchen’s service days.

How a day sequences

Start with the label that holds the tier. Bayview holds two of the six $15 records. Richmond, Mission, Mission Bay and Civic Center hold one each.

Three labels carry a day on their own. Bayview holds two $15 records and one $25 record. Mission holds one and four. Richmond holds one and three.

Two fields narrow the choice after that. Service tags appear across the roster: Indoor Dining on 175 records, Outdoor Dining on 82, Takeout on 31 and Delivery on 15. Three records carry a Vegetarian Options tag. One record carries no service tag.

Booking links appear on 152 records. OpenTable carries 124 of them, Resy carries six and 22 sit on other systems. Twenty-seven records carry no booking link. A menu link appears on 126 records, and a planner can read the courses before a group commits.

Where the outside-city entries fit

Five of the 42 labels name a city outside San Francisco: Burlingame, Concord, Cupertino, San Jose and Sausalito. Burlingame holds two records and the other four labels hold one each.

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ (San Jose) publishes Lunch $25 and Dinner $45. It is the one outside-city record with a day-side tier.

The other five outside-city records publish dinner alone at $60 or $75. They are Benihana Burlingame, ChouChou French Bistro (Burlingame), Benihana Concord, Benihana Cupertino and Sushi Ran in Sausalito.

A day trip built on a $15 or $25 lunch has one outside-city stop. A dinner run has five.

The ten-day hold

The organiser asks each kitchen to offer its menu consistently through the ten days, inside the kitchen’s regular operating days and hours.

The organiser asks a kitchen that will not serve the menu at a weekend to contact every weekend reservation holder.

A ten-day group itinerary should confirm each kitchen’s service days before the group holds the row.

Registration terms and the contact

Registration required a current GGRA membership. Registration, menu submissions and photo submissions closed on Monday 28 September 2026.

The association takes programme questions at ggra@ggra.org.

Quote the count with its read date

The about page carries a pre-launch line on the Fall list and links Spring 2026 participants to the same /restaurants/ address. The home page labels the current programme Fall 2026 and gives the 16-25 October window.

The roster moves through the season. A planner should quote the record count with the date the page was read.

The count on 14 October 2026 was 179 records across 42 labels, with six records at $15, 44 records at $25 or below and 152 booking links.
