The Old Post Office is a beautiful American restaurant from the Bacchus restaurant group behind Selbys, Spruce, Village Pub etc. It opened in October 2026. The restaurant is housed in the former Burlingame post office building. Art Deco style to the max. With this type of lineage, it was a no brainer to get out and try this spot. Currently rated 4.9 on google, 4.4 on Yelp. Finally a fine dining establishment in moneyed Burlingame, Hillsborough! Lots of investors tripping over each other to get a piece of this restaurant’s action. The main dining room offers prix-fixe menus with a choice of dishes for each course. $120 Dinner and weekend brunch feature three-courses, while $55 lunch includes two-courses with the option to add dessert. We emailed ahead and added the $80 supplemental whole roast duck. (Only 6 a night) Having remembered the awesome duck from Village Pub, this was a no brainer. You can order a la carte only at the bar but there is a burger! Service was very good. Knowledgeable server who helped us navigate dietary restrictions, handled the pacing well, etc. Never need to ask for water, etc. 5% employer mandated expenses. This is not cheap but […]

Sergeant Ma is the latest restaurant from Hi Neighbor Hospitality, which runs 7Adams, Trestle and more. It’s located right near Oracle park, right by the water. It was confusing how to even get to the restaurant from Berry st because the building is used by UCSF and other tech firms. I suggest heading to the waterfront and then you’ll see it easier. Rated 4.3 on Yelp, 4.6 on Google. Annoyingly they do not answer phones. They serve California cuisine with Asian influences, which is similar to many other spots in the City. Amount of Asian influence is very low. They have some nice patio seating outside with heaters and a long bar. Their cocktail program looks great. We sat at the bar and saw some cool cocktails like the Steam Schooner. We ordered too much for a party of 3. Be careful. Pacing was very uneven for the 3 week old restaurant, although servers were clearly experienced and comp’d us a dessert. By the time the duck came, we were done eating. All in all this is a beautiful restaurant that serves up solid food. We can’t find a defining themes, making it hard to characterize this spot. If you […]

Tinkuy is the lunch buffet that even non hotel guests can reserve for lunch. It costs about US$44 per person and has a wide variety of items. I presume the same kitchen prepares this food as next door. It is open 11am-330pm. Online reservations are through their Facebook page. Hack to Comfortably take 2 Machu Picchu Routes done in 1 day! This restaurant is great if you have 2 different tickets for the same day at Machu Picchu. You can go do route 8am Route 1C – Panoramico, Ruta Portada Intipunku – Sun Gate Eat lunch at Tinkuy – rest, recharge, hit the restrooms, and then take in your afternoon hike. Route 2A Circuito Clasico – Classic Citadel at 13:00 No need to take the long winding bus ride to Aguas Calientes plus this meal is A LOT cheaper than staying at the Sanctuary Lodge next door. Tinkuy is a Quechua word that means a meeting, gathering.

Why did we eat here? – Quipas is a restaurante de cocina peruana contemporánea ubicado in Lima, Peru. Not a big spot, about 12 tables and a bar counter. They serve lunch and dinner. This was our first dinner in Peru and a highly anticipated one that is rated at 4.9 on Google. (They do ask you to leave a review after you pay) A fellow foodie suggested we try this spot. We were trying to get the best of Peru, but without tasting menus. Check out our Peru 2026 Trip Restaurant Reviews Reservations are necessary but can be easily made online. The first diners at 7pm where all Americans! Menu is bigger than expected with lots of starters and entrees. English menu is available. Not a lot of vegetarian options. Come with a larger party to try more dishes. They take dietary restrictions seriously. The food was beautiful and was even better than expected. Dishes just worked. Even a special dessert was created on the fly to maneuver around a dietary restriction. Service was very good with folks passing by all the time. No the type of overwhelming service you get at a 3 star spot. Friendly with lots […]
