Jules and Maria Isabel Land on Bon Appetit's Best New Restaurants List

San Francisco landed two new entries on Bon Appétit’s Best New Restaurants list for 2026, with Jules and Maria Isabel earning spots. The magazine’s editors selected 19 restaurants nationwide and highlighted a shared theme: chefs with clear perspectives who are willing to take risks. Jules debuted in May 2025, drawing praise for a “free-wheeling” and inventive approach to pizza, including the Fun Guy mushroom pie featuring black garlic-tamarind sauce—named among the editors’ best dishes of the year. Maria Isabel, opened in March at the edge of Presidio Heights, serves coastal Mexican cuisine and earned Michelin attention for its cocktail program built around uncommon Mexican spirits.
