Best Restaurants for Foodies in Outer Mission

The first time at Zuni Cafe. I’d heard about the restaurant and hadn’t rushed to make a reservation in the last several years but the opportunity of an available reservation on a day we were in The City finally presented itself. Quite frankly, the best meal we’ve had in SF or in many cities for that matter. And we’ve been to a lot of great restaurants in SF. The Caesar salad is the best I’ve had in a very long time. The dressing had hints of anchovies and lemon. The croutons were outstandingly flavorful without cracking your teeth on them. Their famous brick oven chicken was not only flavorful but the bread salad and bitter greens really gave it a holiday meal feeling but on a weeknight. The star of the meal was the baby morels, fresh peas and fiddlehead concoction over lemony polenta. The fresh herbs and greens and even the onions - this dish was a standout. Service was great, drinks were fabulous. Paying the bill felt like it was worth every dollar. We will be back.

Very polished Chinese fare and friendly service, but unfortunately they didn’t allow us to order dessert because we arrived 20 min late and there was another party after us.

Loved it! The whole experience was great! Really enjoyed celebrating Leonard’s birthday here.

I love NOPA! A full production of dining experience from amazing waiters to amazing food and drinks. The whole restaurant makes you feel special.

The most unique and exciting food experience in a very long time… an outstanding venue, beautiful decor, knowledgeable, waiters, and weight staff that were very attentive.  Can’t wait to try some of their sister restaurants down the Peninsula.
