Chez Panisse
- (Downtown / UC Campus)
- Berkeley CA -
Chez Panisse opened its doors in 1971, started by Alice Waters and an assortment of idealistic friends. A neighborhood bistro named after a character in Marcel Pagnol's 1930's trilogy of movies (Marius, Fanny, and Cesar), the Restaurant and Cafe are a homage to the sentiment, comedy and informality of these [+]classic films. Alice and Chez Panisse have become convinced that the best-tasting food is organically grown and harvested in ways that are ecologically sound, by people who are taking care of the land for future generations. The quest for such ingredients has largely determined the restaurant's cuisine. Chez Panisse has tried for years to make diners here partake of the immediacy and excitement of vegetables just out of the garden, fruit right off the branch, and fish straight out of the sea. In doing so, Chez Panisse has stitched together a patchwork of over sixty nearby suppliers, whose concerns, like the restaurant's, are environmental harmony and optimal flavor.Alice and Chez Panisse have become convinced that the best-tasting food is organically grown and harvested in ways that are ecologically sound, by people who are taking care of the land for future generations.

We were so fortunate to be presented with an [+]opportunity to purchase this local gem, one of the best kept secrets of Sacramento!

If you are looking for an amazing meal, please come visit us! Our Chefs, Bryan, Parris, and Jaime are working hard in the kitchen to serve delicious French food, whether you order off the menu or indulge in one of our Black Board specials. Our servers, Rodney, Mimi, Brian, and Mark would love to make you a cocktail, pour you a glass of wine, and ensure you have a great experience.

Baker Street Bistro
- (Union Street)
- San Francisco CA -
Baker Street Bistro has been San Francisco’s favorite neighborhood French restaurant since 1991. We invite you to enjoy a romantic dinner in our cozy dining room or take advantage of the great San Francisco weather by having lunch/brunch on our sunny patio. From Moules Provençale (“the best mussels in townâ€) [+]to Pain Perdu (our famous soft and fluffy cinnamon French Toast), Chef Danel from Biarritz serves up authentic French cuisine from his homeland.
We are located in the Cow Hollow/Marina neighborhood, just down the hill from Pacific Heights and close to the entrance of the Presidio and Palace of Fine Arts.
" The place is tiny -- the two dining rooms are cramped and the kitchen crew is minimal ---but the prices (except for the specials, which tend to be high) are excellent, and the rustic French food is delicious. In addition, the service is welcoming and friendly, a rare combination for an urban cityscape." [-]
