Intimate

When chef Carlos “Chombolín” Alba opened Intimo in 2015, in a small ranch-style house in the San Francisco neighborhood, he revolutionized the local culinary scene with his innovative approach to using locally sourced ingredients, some grown right on the premises. With a cozy and familiar atmosphere, reminiscent of a dinner at a friend’s house (with only 28 seats), the restaurant continues to be one of the most avant-garde in the city, standing out for its creative blend of regional flavors. Don’t miss the cocktail menu, which features local ingredients like hibiscus and a variety of rums. Bartender Robert Martin’s drinks are considered some of the most innovative in the city.
