Best Bistros in Bayview

Another amazing meal at our favorite French bistro in San Francisco. Sit at the bar for more room and great people-watching. We had the most perfect escargot and steak frites that we have ever eaten anywhere in the world. Do not come here expecting a restaurant. It is a traditional french cafe/bar with incredible food and service.

Chapeau is a gem. A small restaurant in Inner Richmond with a narrow well curated menu and an astounding wine list. The proprietors are friendly and welcoming. The wait staff is attentive without being obtrusive. The food is classic French prepared flawlessly. I highly recommend Chapeau

A warm cozy place to meet friends for Happy Hour. We enjoyed delicious fresh oysters, fries, and a nice Chardonnay. Our waiter Anthony was fantastic.

Had an outstanding experience . Christian, our server, provided exceptional service throughout the evening - attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making our visit special. The burger was perfection, juicy and flavorful. Their wine selection impressed me, and Christian's recommendations paired perfectly with our meal. The combination of remarkable food and top-tier service made for a memorable dining experience. Will definitely return!

A somewhat different breakfast entree - smoked polenta with pork, cilantro and seasonings. Delicious and unique. Almost better still - the best hot tea I've ever had in a restaurant. The tea itself was superior English breakfast blend but it was served truly HOT in a double-walled metal teapot with loose tea leaves infused in a basket, and the second large ceramic cup of tea was as hot and perfectly brewed as the first. As an inveterate tea-drinker, believe me when I say this was a completely singular presentation in my (usually somewhat disappointing) experience. THANK YOU.
