Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Wine Bars

    A French-inspired room pouring an unusually diverse natural wine list, with menu descriptions that lean playful rather than precious, a good entry point for someone still learning what they like in natural wine.

  • Soups

    L'Oursin, a French restaurant in the Central District, serves its French onion soup as a crock of gratinée à l'oignon: a dark veal broth, caramelized onions that border on gelatinous, and a thick layer of bruleed gruyere on chunky bread. The soup is even better soaked into fries saved from a plate of steak frites. Order the gratinée à l'oignon.

  • French

    Steak frites and imaginative wine pairings sit alongside seafood forward plates like peche du jour and raw scallops at this Central District bistro, with a harissa spiked panisse as the standout starter before the main course arrives at the table.
