Oakland’s food scene has officially stolen the spotlight, named the #1 food city by Condé Nast Traveler readers! With its endless lineup of award-winning restaurants, Oakland has become a destination for food lovers seeking bold flavors, creative menus, and memorable experiences. Oakland, fondly known as “The Town,” has officially earned its spot as the top food city with a dynamic culinary scene that celebrates diversity, innovation, and flavor, Oakland’s food culture is a treasure trove of unique dining experiences that continue to attract locals and visitors alike. One of the hottest new additions is Sun Moon Studio, an intimate restaurant opened by two chefs with MICHELIN-star experience. Their menu, crafted around fresh, local ingredients, offers diners a truly immersive culinary journey.

Another stand out is El Paisa in East Oakland, which is referred to as the “temple of tacos” which has it’s own unique flavor with the mix of suadero and chorizo. The family-owned restaurant is proud of their one-of-a-kind offerings and never thought it was possible to achieve Michelin star status when they opened their first and only restaurant in 2007.
