Zazie - San Francisco (CA)

3 /5 Darlo: Overall, a decent experience. Highlights: the Albert eggs benedict was delicious and the buttermilk pancake was very good (way better than the gingerbread and french toast in the Sarah Janes flight.) Low points: the hot chocolate was really watered down. Also, I really worry about the sanitary conditions of this place. The bathroom, the dishwashing, and the pass where the finished food sits before being served is all right next to each other and its also the choke point where patrons walk through to get to the back area seating. The floor was also really slippery in this area.

5 /5 Tonya Del Gallo: Food was outstanding! Wonderful lite beet salad with avocado. Loved the hazelnuts on the salmon and risotto. Husband loved the baked chicken and noodles. Very clean and nice interior. Josh was an excellent server and the crème brûlée was the best I’ve had in years!

3 /5 Allysa Gem Untal: We ordered the pain de mie French toast with orange cinnamon batter and the Albert eggs benedict. Unfortunately, the French toast was underwhelming — it was essentially just a plain piece of bread with very little flavor or effort, lacking the richness or creativity you’d expect from a French restaurant. It didn’t feel like much was done to elevate the dish. The eggs benedict, on the other hand, was fine and reliable. Nicely cooked eggs and a decent hollandaise, but nothing particularly memorable. Overall, the experience was mixed. The savory option was satisfactory, but the French toast fell short of expectations.

5 /5 Dionna Smith: Zazie is hands down one of our Top 5 favorite restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, and every visit reminds me exactly why. As someone who’s a big, big meat eater, I rarely go for a meatless option—but the lemon ricotta ravioli here is in a league of its own. Bright, creamy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, it’s one of the very few vegetarian dishes that leaves me totally satisfied without even thinking about meat. That says a lot. Of course, when I do indulge my carnivorous side, the pork chop is absolutely divine—so tender it practically falls apart, and paired with buttery potatoes and the dreamiest mac and cheese. Rich, hearty, comforting. It’s the kind of dish you crave long after the meal is over. The escargot deserves a special shoutout—it instantly transports me back to Paris. Delicately prepared, garlicky, and served with that unmistakable French flair. It’s the real deal. And please, whatever you do, don’t skip dessert. The Chaud is an experience. Warm, gooey chocolate topped with toasted marshmallows—it’s like being wrapped in a hug that somehow takes you straight to Brussels. Yum, yum, YUM! Zazie isn’t just a meal—it’s a mood, a memory, and a masterpiece every time. Whether you’re a die-hard meat lover or looking for something refined and soulful, this place delivers.

3 /5 Max Kay: American cafe with good variety of brunch options. Good fresh delicious food with veggie options. Not typical American portion. Service is a bit slow but responsive. Its quiet but vibrant atmosphere. Good for couple, meetup and small gathering. Hard to find parking but possible in around streets. Indoor setting, limited outdoor setting but nice cozy patio in the end of cafe. Not accessible for tight inside and steps to patio.
