There is good food, and then there is great food. For the latter, 888 San Mateo residents can take a trip over to THREE restaurant & bar, just over a mile from the community, at 50 E. Third Ave.
This downtown restaurant is busy building a reputation that’s larger than the Golden Gate. Their philosophy is simple: great food made from scratch, herbs from their living wall, and vegetables from their roof-top garden.
Combined into one meal, these fundamentals come together to create the best breakfast, lunch or dinner locals have ever eaten. The starters of pulled-pork tacos, pickled vegetables and braised olives might be enough for any appetite, but diners may want to save room for the coffee-chili-rubbed New York strip, blue cheese gnocchi, lamb burgers, and lemon meringue tartlets for dessert.
On the weekends, THREE serves up yam fritters in plum-chipotle sauce, potato pancakes with smoked salmon, buttermilk pancakes and waffles covered in whipped cream and strawberries, and house-made sausage omelets. Coupled with the attentive service, a convenient location and tasty drink menu (complete with craft beers and house-infused cocktails), it’s a dining experience unparalleled anywhere in the Bay Area.
