I'll throw out a bunch of different places I've loved, different price ranges (splitting the links).
Yank Sing -- the best dim sum

Slanted Door -- amazing Vietnamese in the Ferry Building. The Ferry Building is a great place for foodies and for a nice place for toddlers too -- fun to go outside and see the bay, the bridge, the boats.

Boulevard. Wonderful, French-inspired California food.

Greens. One of the best vegie restaurants in the country -- even if you aren't vegie, the view is SPECTACULAR.

There are lots of fun places to take toddlers, but I often take visitors w/ toddlers to the Yerba Buena Park area. Everybody always loves it. There is a large grassy area, a few museums, a great park for kids, a bowling alley, carousel and ice skating rink. There are bunch of restaurants in and around the area. The cafe in the SF MOMA is pretty good and you can eat there w/out paying museum admission.

Also, parts of Golden Gate Park are great for toddlers, esp. (IMO) the California Academy of Science, Stow Lake (paddle boats) and the Japanese Tea Gardens.
There are a zillion more restaurants. This is a foodie place for sure.
I posted this on the Community Board and did not get a reply. I am hoping you guys can help me out.
Can anyone suggest some good places to eat in and around San Fransisco? A friend of mine is going in July and she is a self proclaimed "foodie".
Any other suggestions for fun things to do with a toddler is also apreciated.
Thanks in advance.
