Pomet | A Farm-to-Table Gem with Perfectly Executed Dishes 🌱✨

Since moving to San Francisco earlier this year, I’ve had my fair share of great meals in the Bay Area. But between work fatigue and sheer laziness, I haven’t been posting much. Last weekend, though, I ventured to Oakland for a wonderfully chill dinner at Pomet—and it’s reignited my foodie spirit! About Pomet: 🏆 A Michelin Green Star restaurant (for sustainability!) in Oakland, with a strong farm-to-table ethos. The menu’s back page proudly lists all their local suppliers—because the owner also runs K&J Orchards, one of the farms they source from. The menu is small but thoughtful, and the execution? Flawless. The Standouts: 🍄 Mushroom Ravioli – Earthy, umami-packed, with crispy breadcrumbs for texture. A must-order. 🐦 Five-Spice Roasted Quail – Looks humble, but oh my—juicy, tender, with a light salt-roasted flavor (not overly spiced). 🐖 Pork Chop – The star of the night. No gamey taste, just succulent, flavorful meat paired with fresh fava beans and a tangy sauce. Perfection. 🍰 Chiffon Cake – Light, airy, layered with mascarpone and topped with bursting-with-flavor peaches. 🍮 Panna Cotta – Silky, with playful crispy toppings and fruit. Almost as good as the chiffon. The Okay: 🍞 Hokkaido Milk Bread – A tad over-toasted, but the accompanying cultured butter + whey was refreshing. 🐟 Black Cod – Cooked perfectly (crispy skin, buttery flesh), but the beurre blanc sauce was… forgettable. Needed more zing! Vibes & Verdict: 🌿 Cozy, unpretentious, and seriously skilled at nailing cooking temps. Not the most expansive menu, but what they do, they do well. I’ll be back with friends! 📍 Pomet Oakland, CA (exact address not listed—check their site!) #SanFranciscoEats #OaklandFoodie #FarmToTable #MichelinGreenStar #BayAreaDining #FoodieFinds 🍽️🌿
