Jon Van CleveApril 29, 2014Go on a Saturday when full farmers market happening outside. Amazing food from any of the stands!
Karen BigosJuly 31, 2012Since you are so close, try dinner at Epic Roasthouse, just at the bridge, beyond the big bow and arrow.
Mark AddisAugust 30, 2013Love this place, the food selections, and farmers market that rolls in on Tues and Saturdays!
Oysters, clam chowder, sourdough, seafood, wine, chocolates, coffee
Perfect way to experience typical Bay Area and have lots of good food
Joanna FlammOctober 10, 2016Hog Island Oysters, Slanted Door, Cowgirl Creamery, Il Cane Rosso, any of the stands
Lani TeshimaNovember 1, 2011An absolute madhouse on Saturdays when the farmer's market is happening. Go then if you thrive on the hustle/bustle. Otherwise, go during the week when it's less hectic.
Niamh BreslinNovember 20, 2015So much to eat and drink in here! Very busy on Saturday so visit mid week
Westfield San Francisco CentreJuly 10, 2012For a view that rivals The Embarcadero come celebrate the city at Westfield San Francisco Centre with our free 3D light spectacular at 865 Market Street from now until September 3, 2012!

Valentine's Day MovieFebruary 2, 2010Must have: Blue Bottle Coffee. Visit the Farmer's Market on a Saturday morning to sample local produce and grab fresh flowers or chocolates from Recchiuti Confections for your sweetheart. #vday
Chelsea WindlingerAugust 31, 2014Blue bottle coffee and Harvey milk and honey graham ice cream is an awesome combo- Ruth CarrierosteinJanuary 14, 2015Very popular on the weekends. There are great restaurants there. Try the Slanted Door.
- Beautiful marketplace with awesome shops and delicious food!
savoryexposure.comAugust 17, 2011Visiting for the first time and planning on eating? Instead of getting a large meal at one place, grab a bite or two at a stall and graze through the building.
jennyAugust 1, 2012if yr catching a ferry across the bay with your bike, make sure to bring a cover to protect it from the salt water!
Edward VallecilloJune 18, 2012So much good food. Work your way down the whole building before deciding what you really want. Huge selection.
Ekin GüranSeptember 4, 2012wine merchant is perfect! California wine is awesome. Go wine merchant order a zinfandel and enjoy it!

M. Du 200August 16, 2016You need to Visit the buildin With a city guide to learn a lot of things about this tirer- Rotimi A. WilliamsFebruary 23, 2016I wasn't into the retail but there's some diversity in the food offerings. Be broke , have a cup of Peets and watch the boats come in.
Alan BressersMay 20, 2010Thursdays and Saturdays are the best days... because those are Roli Roti days. The porchetta sandwich is THE best sandwich EVER.
Thomas MHJune 2, 2012Walk around the Ferry Bldg Saturday morning and show off your fancy camera. Cliche photos of organic produce are optional.
Must see for the farmers market, wine merchant, oysters, blue bottle coffee
- Caio TurbianiJune 30, 2016Food court is nice but expensive. There's also a farmer's market with some tents selling steet food on Saturdays and Sundays.
Get yourself some oysters, some truffle salt, some.... Get it all.
Go hear on an empty stomach. Try everything, including (not limited to) coffee, oysters, real ginger ale, pig parts and chocolate.
Andreas NellasJanuary 11, 2015There is a very impressive market here with local products. Maybe you should come with an empty stomach.

Difficult to navigate when crowded, but such a beautiful view!
Get food to-go and sit on one of the park benches outside to enjoy the view of the water, bridge, and boats.
