Kosher Restaurants on the SF Peninsula

Kosher dining is limited on the Peninsula, so this short list collects the places we know that serve kosher food or follow kosher practices, mostly around Palo Alto and San Mateo. Certification and supervision vary from place to place, and hours can shift around Shabbat and holidays. Confirm the current status with the restaurant before you go if you keep strict kosher.
