Weekends are meant for slowing down the pace and having a good time. What better way to kick off the fun than at a charming eatery in the heart of San Francisco’s favorite hangout?

A weekend lunch at Pier 39’s Eagle Cafe offers up amazing views, delicious meals, and easy access to fun-filled waterfront activities. Here’s why this iconic spot is the best place for Saturday or Sunday lunch in San Francisco.

Show-Stopping Views

People leave their hearts in San Francisco for a lot of reasons, and the spectacular bay is surely one of them. From the majestic Golden Gate Bridge to the historic Alcatraz Island, the waterfront offers a panorama unlike any other.

Taking in all of this spectacular scenery is a must, and it’s that much better while you’re enjoying a fantastic weekend lunch on Pier 39. Eagle Cafe features a uniquely designed patio overlooking all of the bustle and beauty of the bay. Here, every seat faces forward, so no one misses out on the view! Just sit back, order a signature cocktail, and soak in the show-stopping scenery during a leisurely Sunday lunch on San Francisco’s best patio.

The Ultimate Midday Menu

Meals during the week may feel rushed and, well, a bit boring. A weekend lunch at Eagle Cafe calls for something much more satisfying. The menu offerings here are delicious and diverse, offering up flavorful favorites everyone will enjoy.

If the clock says lunchtime but you’re still in morning mode, you’ll find great late breakfast options. Joe’s Special is a hit, featuring eggs, ground beef, spinach, garlic, and onions. Savory avocado toast (with or without an egg) is another tasty option.

Other standout weekend lunch selections include clam chowder (in a sourdough bowl, if you please), the Eagle Burger, fish tacos, and a BLTA—the classic, with fresh avocado added. And that’s only scratching the surface. Delectable seafood, chicken and fish sandwiches, salads, and more…there’s so much variety!

In the Heart of the Action

One of the bustling areas of Pier 39

Perfectly situated on popular Pier 39, weekend lunch at Eagle Cafe is the ideal way to kick off an afternoon of excitement at Fisherman’s Wharf. Fueling up with a hearty Sunday lunch in San Francisco’s number one spot for fun means you’ll have plenty of gas in the tank to take it all in.

For some heart-pounding fun, head over to the Bay Plunge or take a virtual sweep through the city at the Flyer Thrill Zone, and then explore the Aquarium of the Bay. Sail away on a whale watching expedition, or observe wildlife right from the pier—for 35 years, hundreds of California sea lions have made this their home.

If you’re more in the mood for easy meanderings after your Pier 39 weekend lunch, take a stroll along the Embarcadero or check out Ghirardelli Square. However you choose to have fun, be sure to make the historic Eagle Cafe part of the experience.
