Carrying on the culinary legacy of their late chef Judy Rogers, Zuni Cafe remains the perfect spot in downtown San Francisco to enjoy impeccably Fresh Oysters or a well-celebrated Roasted Chicken accompanied by a salad of seasonal greens, slivered garlic, scallions, currants, croutons and pine nuts all tossed in a piquant vinaigrette. The menu here is inspired by both traditional French and Italian cuisine, and the kitchen sources both produce, and animal products that have been farmed and harvested in a sustainable manner.
A clear menu highlight is the classic Polenta served with either Mascarpone or Parmaggiano.
Desserts here are superlative, such as the Crème Fraîche Panna Cotta With Wild Huckleberry Sauce pictured above.
