Burlingame Restaurants

About Burlingame

Burlingame is one of the Peninsula's most pleasant places to shop and eat, known for its tree-lined avenues and a downtown built for strolling. Burlingame Avenue is the main event, a walkable stretch of restaurants, cafes, and shops where you can browse, grab a coffee, and settle in for a meal, while Broadway offers a second, more neighborhood-flavored dining district a little to the north.

The food runs upscale-casual and international. Burlingame has strong Italian, Japanese, and Mediterranean options, lively brunch and cafe culture, and a good number of polished sit-down rooms suited to a relaxed dinner. Broadway adds its own mix of family restaurants and specialty spots. The overall feel is comfortable and refined without being stuffy, matching a city known for its greenery and easygoing charm.

Because Burlingame draws both locals and visitors staying near the airport, its restaurants keep steady standards and a welcoming pace. Downtown fills pleasantly in the evenings, and the walkable core means you can park once and choose on foot. Prices lean toward the mid-to-upper range on the Avenue, with more casual options nearby.

Whether you want a long Italian dinner, a sushi night, a weekend brunch, or simply a good coffee and a walk, Burlingame makes it easy.
