About

Welcome to Dalida

We built Dalida on the hospitality, culture, fresh ingredients and familiar flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean. Our food is best enjoyed shared across the table. The legacy of Istanbul, once Constantinople, is greater than meets the eye. It's the palace and the countryside, the business and cultural capital. It's a little Turkish, a little Greek, Armenian, Jewish, Arabic and Persian. From the Eastern-most to the Western-most point of the Western world, we tell a story of an Istanbul that could have been, a story of the Eastern Mediterranean that manifests itself in San Francisco, a city also built on seven hills, one that welcomes, empowers and celebrates all that want to be here.

We invite guests to follow the principle of “little little in the middle,” savoring an assortment of mezes while enjoying lively conversation with companions.

In addition to sourcing responsibly from nearby farms and purveyors and collaborating with local artists to decorate the restaurant’s interior, the team also works to select products with the lowest ecological footprint. In particular, they are committed to building flexible and plant-forward menus that give diners the option of having a fully vegetable-driven experience. Dalida’s team also strives for full utilization of ingredients, candying spent walnuts from their homemade nocino or making stock from limes that have already been juiced. Products that don’t get used go back into the park’s compost structure and are ultimately used to enrich the community garden where the chefs grow a number of their ingredients. And because they are leasing the space from the Presidio, proceeds from the restaurant also go towards supporting a national park site.

Of course, we put a great deal of thought into the food, beverages, music, design, and all the other details. However, the business of restaurants is all about the people who make it happen, and we put our team at the heart of this concept.  

The Drinks

Dalida’s wine program, expanding to a list of more than four hundred bottles, focuses on small production family wineries, featuring wines that are produced with mindful farming practices and lower interventional styles. Some are made of grapes that can only be found in their tiny, singular place in the world. While the names and varietals may be new, they still offer a sense of familiarity in the flavors, textures, and aromas that they provide.

The “East-meets-West” disposition also shines through in the restaurant’s bar program under the direction of Evan Williams. Dalida’s cocktails are crafted with ingredients from the Eastern Mediterranean—think spices, yogurts, and preserved fruits—while also incorporating foraged aromatics from the Presidio, including eucalyptus, rose geranium and yerba buena.

This is a family style meal for groups of two and more. A recommendation from Chef Laura and Chef Sayat is to try the chefs' menu for your first visit. The tasting menu is set as a five course experience. Snacks, breaking bread and a salad, warm appetizer, family style entree, and dessert. For larger groups, it’s best for groups with no/minimum diet restrictions as it’s difficult to accommodate a family meal for. We look forward to hosting you at Dalida.
