The Best Restaurants In Palo Alto

Palo Alto doesn’t have many sceney restaurants. Expensive restaurants sure, but restaurants that feel of the moment? Not really. That’s where Sekoya comes in. But this American spot with seasonal dishes is more than just a place with tons of cute couches, bespoke light fixtures, tech execs, and the occasional Stanford student pretending they’re in Lower Manhattan for the night. Sekoya is a trendy spot where the food is quite good. The parker house rolls with mascarpone are fluffy, the zesty lamb tartare served with a crispy lavash cracker gets the balance of citrus just right, and the chicken thigh topped with cara cara is about as juicy as the orange.
