Hilda and Jesse
Hilda and Jesse is a San Francisco restaurant known for creative breakfast and brunch, run by co-owners Ollie Liedags and Rachel Sillcocks. Both bring extensive fine-dining experience, and each contributed a grandparent to the restaurant’s name. It was included among the one-star restaurants in the MICHELIN Guide California 2025 and is also listed with one star in the 2026 guide. [2][1][3]
The winsome space recalls a modernist diner, and the hospitality is warm and cheerful. The cooking is not fussy or manicured; instead, it combines excellent ingredients and bold, brash flavours in dishes that are unexpected yet satisfying. The menu changes frequently and is not provided to diners, so each course arrives as a surprise. [2]
