Find out what Mediterranean restaurants to try in San Jose. Welcome to bustling San Jose, where Silicon Valley meets Spanish history and modern edifices sit alongside meticulously restored 19th-century buildings. Such is the contrast of this city rich in tradition and, thanks to the tech industry, just plain rich. Five star-hotels and fine restaurants line the streets of the restored downtown area, and the cultural scene is thriving with museums, theater and art to rival any world-class hub. Don't miss the Tech Museum of Innovation, an exploration of Silicon Valley and its impact on the area. History buffs will relish the old mansions and can delve into the city's past at the History Museum of San Jose. Save time for a round of golf or the locals' other favorite pastime, sipping coffee and people-watching at a crowded cafe.

Well-prepared Greek food (stuffed mushrooms, grape leaves, fried eggplant, moussaka, baklava) in a pleasant setting with good service. Why is it so hard to find that combo in San Jose? It was our most expensive meal but well worth the extra dollars. We'll be back.

Very cool vibe. Sit on low cushions on the floor at very low table. They come around and wash your hands before the meal. The waiter was very helpful in choosing dishes, and all the staff were friendly. The food was unique and excellent. Would come here again in a heartbeat.

Had lunch on a Monday. Not crowded. Breakfast is served until 2 pm so I had a scramble. I don't usually like breakfast potatoes but these were delicious! My lunch companion really liked the beet salad and lamb sliders. The creme brûlée and chocolate lava cake were beautifully plated and yummy. The coffee was especially good.
