Foie Gras

"Hi, my name is Serena, and I'm addicted to foie gras." A list of the best places to find the delicacy, in all its incarnations.

(415) 391-2555

Categories: Spanish, Basque

Neighborhood: Embarcadero

2/26/2006

I'm really mixed on Piperade, so I'll err on the side of being generous. The food is delish - we literally mopped up our plate with the foie gras - and the wine selection quite generous. However, I ate the lamb chops and ended up puking when I got…More »

Being the foie gras-whore that I am, I was pleasantly surprised by Bocadillos. While everything we ordered was pretty decent, the stand out dish was this weird foie gras sushi thing: foie gras, mango and rice wrapped in serrano ham, and topped with…More »

Spectacular!

My friend Karen and I are true foodies, and we've tried an amazing number of good restaurants in the city. Out of all of those (at least 30), there's only two that we actually CRAVE going back to - Myth and A16.

The portions, while they…More »

OOH-LA-LA!

Yeah, I'm sure that joke has been made many a times. This is one of the true gems of SF dining - small, cozy, great wine, and fantastic food. Its mostly comfort food with a high end twist. The foie gras in fig is just amazing, and I love…More »

I'd love to give this place 3.5 stars.

We went for Bastille Day this past year and had a blast. Imagine, a table of six women at an outrageously French bistro! Had one of the most fantastic syrahs there (wish I knew the name!) and their main dishes…More »

Really 3.5 stars. 4 stars for fabulous food; 3 stars for service with attitude.

I gave up meat (bird and mammal) for Lent, and despaired of finding fulfillment with veggie fare and seafood, outside of sushi. Limon was the perfect answer - a great…More »

Category: French

Neighborhood: Potrero Hill

2/26/2006

I don't care what my French roommates say - I like Chez Papa. Being the foie gras junkie that I am, I can always count on their filet mignon with foie gras sauce to hit the spot. Yeah, its pretty overpriced. But I haven't found another place that…More »

Yummy, and completely overpriced. We ended up spending $250 for two people. If you go, make sure you stuff yourself with celery first.

Recently updated lists from Serena Y.

Spas, Spas, Spas! (12) I'm a spa whore with a mission: to find the most perfect facial. On top of which, I'm the tensest person you've ever met, so I love massages too!	Orgasmic, Foodie Favorites (9) The few upscale restaurants that have earned my highest recommendation: I'd go there again. With so many great restaurants in SF to choose from, a repeat visit is a rarity.
Tru Ripoffs (6) Overpriced, overhip, and underwhelming, these places should spend more effort on their promised service and less on their image.	Good Eats (10) My favorite bargain bites, in SF and beyond...
