The GRAND CAFE: A top San Francisco French restaurant near Union Square
Grand Cafe - Brasserie and Bar features Regional French cuisine with a California influence. Using only seasonal, local purveyors of meat, cheese and produce, the menu offers a diverse array of fresh seafood, roasted meats, and desserts that satisfies every appetite.
Set in an architecturally restored, turn-of-the-century ballroom with 30 foot high ceilings, the cafe reflects the grandeur of old Europe with touches of art nouveau and deco and exciting collections of commissioned murals, decorative art and faux finishes from a variety of local artists, as well as fanciful bronze sculptures by renowned Bay Area artist Albert Guibara that lend a sense of whimsy to the room.
Entering the dining room conjures up an unmistakable sense of arrival and transports you to a different place and time when circles of art and culture intersected with the generous spirit of comfort and good company. The 20th century Parisian atmosphere creates a comfortable harbor for diners and radiates enough character and dramatic energy to make any meal a truly unforgettable experience.
The adjoining Petite Cafe with a lamp-lit cherry-wood bar, wood burning oven and original pen and ink drawings along the walls, provides the perfect backdrop for a casual meal or cocktail, or to casually sample the full Brasserie menu, before or after the theater.
"Walking into the Grand Cafe raises the spirits. Inside a person feels like a first-class citizen in a world-class city." - San Francisco Chronicle
