Coqueta | A Hidden Gem of Spanish Cuisine in San Francisco 🇪🇸

Located right next to the iconic Ferry Building along the Embarcadero, Coqueta offers a taste of vibrant Spanish flavors with stunning bay views 🌊. From the atmosphere and service to the thoughtfully crafted dishes, this spot delivers a memorable dining experience — though some flavors lean salty, each plate is executed with passion and precision. 🟡 Seafood Paella ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loaded with fresh seafood and simmered in rich saffron-infused broth, this paella is perfect for sharing between 2–3 people. The socarrat (crispy bottom layer) is pure gold 🥘. 🟡 Grilled Octopus with Potatoes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tender, smoky octopus paired with creamy potatoes and a subtly spicy sauce. A glass of white wine would elevate this dish — too bad we were on the clock! 🐙🍸 🟡 Smoked Salmon Pintxo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An elegant bite: toasted baguette topped with silky smoked salmon, cream cheese, and a hint of truffle oil. Light, refreshing, and the perfect starter 🥖🍣. 📍 Coqueta Pier 5, The Embarcadero, San Francisco, CA 94111 Hours: Mon–Fri: 12 PM – 9 PM Sat: 11 AM – 10 PM Sun: 11 AM – 9 PM 💵 Average: $70 per person A must-try when you're exploring downtown SF — whether for a sunny lunch or a romantic dinner by the water 🌉. #SanFrancisco #SFfood #SpanishCuisine #CoquetaSF #FerryBuilding #BayAreaEats #PaellaLover #SFTravel #FoodWithAView
