Food

The Grand Cafe:

The Grand Cafe, a French restaurant in San Francisco, features contemporary French-California cuisine influenced by earthy seasonal flavors and wonderful local ingredients. The menu’s diverse array of fresh seafood, roasted meats and theatrical desserts satifies every appetite.

Set in an architecturally restored, turn-of-the-century ballroom with 30 foot high ceilings, this San Francisco restaurant reflects the grandeur of old Europe with touches of art nouveau and deco, and exciting collections of commissioned murals, fanciful sculptures, decorative art and faux finishes from a variety of local artists.

Entering the Grand Cafe’s 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 early-20th century Parisian influence of this Union Square French restaurant creates a comfortable harbor for diners and radiates enough character and dramatic energy to make any meal a truly unforgettable experience.

The adjoining Petit 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, 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
