About Tristan's List

Welcome to Tristan's List! This is my personal directory of the best restaurants and vintage shops around the world. No stars or ratings, no influence, no paid placements. Just brief write-ups on places I have actually been to and find to be amazing. Consider them all to be 5 out of 5 stars, if you must, as there will never be anything less than that on this site.

Why This Exists

I have a number of lists on my phone, organized by city. Los Angeles, NYC, San Francisco, Portland, London, Paris. When I meet people that also really love food and vintage shops, I take note of their favorites for their city. Over time, I have been asked for my lists when people travel, and I thought it would be easier to share in this way with friends, coworkers, and anyone looking for genuine recommendations. These are places I truly love, and have personally been to.

The Two Things I Love In a Big Way

Great food and rummaging through vintage stores and stalls. These two passions have taken me to incredible places around the world, and I want to share those discoveries with you. My goal is to elevate the ones we all know, as well as help you find new ones that may have gotten missed.

Coming Soon

Right now, you'll find my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Soon, I'll be adding vintage shops and expanding to other cities around the world. Each listing will be from my personal perspective, and again, never influenced or paid to be here. If I loved it, it's going to get added here.
