Local before arrival
Founded in 1979 by Zen Buddhists, Greens became the city’s most renowned vegetarian kitchen, and for years, the only waiters were shaven-headed devotees. Then and now, fresh ingredients still arrive from the restaurant’s organic garden in Marin. The menu changes daily, but longtime Chef Annie Somerville says, “Our food will always be labor-intensive.” Enjoy the waterfront location, and request a table by the window to watch the sun set through the cables of Golden Gate Bridge.
