Bouche
San Francisco
En un coup d'œil
Avis
I was staying at a hotel around the corner and wanted a no fuss dinner. I stumbled onto Bouche and the waiter/bartender, David, was so friendly and gave great wine recommendations and the food was really good (I had the duck breast). That was a month ago. I was back in town and decided to go back and it was just as good as last time. Both David and Julie (or Julie) were so friendly and easy going yet attentive personality. It reminds me of a Parisian cafe (or a NY spot)- quaint, bustling but doesn’t feel overwhelming. The wine is yummy; food is yummy; and the team warm and friendly- one of my new go to spots in SF when I visit.
Ordered a couple things. Made a reservation - I think walkin will be tough ti get seated since not a lot of seats in here. They were out of the special tartare that we really wanted unfortunately. But got the chef secret which was frog legs yay! Other stuff were quite yummy as expected.
This is a small, cozy French fusion brunch spot. The food was amazing, even though we had to wait over an hour because the chef was out sick and they were waiting for a sub to arrive. There was a foul smell in the corner of the second floor, but it was bearable enough to stay. Despite the wait and the minor odor issue, the quality of the meal made it worth the visit.
Cozy space with attentive service. Their wine list is impressive. I tried the prix fixe menu that offered a variety of appetizers, choice of beef, fish, and vegetarian entrees, with the option of adding duck breast, caviar, etc. The sourdough bread with herb butter (you order it separately) was very satisfying. I highly recommend the crepe for dessert. All items were cooked to perfection and plated beautifully. The soup was lukewarm and could have been served at a higher temperature. The entrees were delicious but somewhat predictable and therefore I chose to give it 4 stars instead of 5.
Bouche is a really cute little French restaurant, tucked away in an unassuming spot in SF. Kinda tricky to actually find, but worth checking out. The staff were super friendly, accommodating, and attentive. The food is adventurous if that’s what you want, or a bit more traditional if that’s what you’re more comfortable with. It was nice that they have a fresh seasonal menu every couple months. I’d be curious to come back someday and try some more dishes here. The bread and charcuterie were particularly delicious. Highly recommend.
