Dining around Telegraph

Smart locals know that Telegraph has become the most affordable interesting food destination in the Bay Area. We have over 90 establishments, serving an incredible variety of international cuisine. Options include Bao, Pho, Mediterranean street food, Japanese Curry, Italian, Michelin-rated Mexican food, Poutine, and Belgium waffles. Because this is a student district, the competition is keen, the value is high, and the vibe is relaxed and informal.
