The Cliff House is a restaurant perched on the headlands on the cliffs just north of Ocean Beach, on the western side of San Francisco, California. It has great history and a sad story.
The first Cliff House was a modest structure built in 1863; the building survived the explosion of the schooner Parallel, abandoned and loaded with dynamite, ran aground on the rocks below but was later completely destroyed on Christmas night 1894 due to a defective flue.
The Cliff House had also survived the 1906 earthquake with little damage but burned to the ground on the evening of September 7, 1907.
Dramatic story in pictures.

The French Laundry is an American restaurant located in Yountville, California, in the Napa Valley.
It is the fourth restaurant in the world for incredibly high prices, and (as claimed by specialists) quality.
In general, a simple meal in this restaurant will cost you around a thousand dollars. But at least we can be sure that there are no genetically modified products.
The dishes are served in very small portions, to emphasize that their cuisine is "a work of art" and not just food.
After the jump, you will see the interior of the restaurant, photos of some dishes (with prices) and bills after eating there.
