ChouChou French Bistro

"Great French spot with all the classics and nice but not over the top white tablecloth service. Expect to have a great-tasting comfort meal with a strong wine selection in a relaxed atmosphere. I didn’t realize coming into this that doing the pre fixe menu is required, so that was a bit of a surprise but worth it in the end. Good for a splurgey night out or a non-stuffy special occasion / celebration / date night."

"We were recommended this place by our Airbnb hosts. It did not disappoint. Appetizers: mushroom ravioli and French onion soup. Both delicious. Meals: Lamb for me, filet mignon for him. Side of green beans were ordered because we didn’t realize the entree came with sides (menu said but we assumed). Exquisite, all of it. Only critique is lamb had a bit too much reduction on it. Wish it had come in a little pour like the peppercorn sauce for the filet mignon. Husband raved about the sauce for the filet. Said it was on Point and rivaled all he had before. Dessert: tiramisu to go. Creme brulee for the table... amazing. Wine: château Grand Marchand, Bordeaux 2018. Rated an 89; we finished the bottle. Everything came out at the right time, paired well together, and was tasty. This was easily the best meal we had during our 4 day stay in San Francisco. Will come back on return visits. Forgot to take a pic of the other items! They were gorgeous!"

"Came for restaurant week. It's a great deal for a starter, entree and dessert. The starters (escargot and soup) were fantastic. The mains don't stand out much. Dessert again was great and a generous portion. Service was great, the waiters were very attentive."

"Lobster ravioli was amazing. Deviled eggs appetizer is a must! Service above all was great. I found a piece of plastic in my food and was compensated with a creme brulee in top of the entree being taken off the tab. The chef came out himself to apologize for the accident. Very nice atmosphere, quiet and peaceful. Menu is not so long which keeps it conveniently simple to make decisions. Staff is very friendly."
