Side by Side Gourmet is a favorite among it's Russian Hill neighbors since 1997. We think of ourselves as your kitchen away from home. We have dozens of gourmet entrees and salads laid out across our long display case. We see ourselves as rather fancy takeout, more elite than the current wave of delicatessens permeating aound The City.

We also provide customized catering services up to a few hundred people throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. We design custom menus for your catering event, matching a specific occasion or a specific theme from intimate dinners to lavish soirees, all within your budget. With influences around the world and 20 plus years of experience, our chefs continually create a wide range of dishes.

Side by Side Gourmet is owned and operated by Amy Lai and Grace Ly.

Amy Lai comes from a long line of French influenced service industry experience having grown up in family owned hotels and restaurants overseas.

Grace Ly has had extensive cooking and catering experience from around the Bay Area and has also owned San Francisco restaurants and cafes.
