Chelsea QuirinoSeptember 15, 2014the roasted strawberries with yogurt is insanely good. get a cardamom bun to share!
Great fresh California food, nice cocktails, good for sharing. French toast for brunch is like dessert.
Weekend brunch... show up at 10:30, have a drink at the bar and be seated by 11:15. Try the chorizo and French toast!
Alison OlssonMarch 12, 2014As most others noted, the pork chop was amazing. End the meal with the chocolate ganache tart - the perfect combo of sweet / salty.
Daniel HowellsNovember 2, 2015We were able to walk straight in and grab two seats at the bar at 7pm on a Friday night. Quite surprised but it's possible.
Jesse AtkinsonAugust 31, 2014Solid brunch spot. Reservation is a must. French toast is killer. Reasonably priced by San Francisco brunch standards.
Johnnie SkywalkingMay 4, 2014have to wait at the counter for long but its really worth it. wtching the cooking and having a sip of wine in the counter area somehow help through it.
Thiago NoronhaJanuary 6, 2014Gets really busy on Sundays - make reservations. Just had the Bratwurst with white beans and brussel's sprouts. Delicious!
Flávia LessaSeptember 13, 2014Trout salad and they also have the best burger in town. Everything tastes homemade!
Anessa DaileyDecember 13, 2010If the bar top is full dine at the chefs counter one of the best spots in the house. Try the domaine Christian Moreau Chablis the acid will blow your mind plus great pairing with any of their dishes!
Karina NJune 25, 2018Their weekend brunch offerings include saffron honey brioche buns, oven baked eggs and Moroccan spiced lamb.
Trevor HillOctober 18, 2015The burger is excellent. The patty is thick and cooked perfectly. By far one of the best burgers in the city- Brad LFebruary 26, 2014Described, without irony, as "the best restaurant in the United States." http://heirloom-sf.com/2013/06/the-best-restaurant-in-the-country
NickJuly 8, 2015Get the pork chop and cap the meal with the blue bottle cocktail - their take on an espresso martini
ChrisDecember 29, 2017Burger is intense. Try to sit near the kitchen if possible to see the magic unfold.
Lily LiangSeptember 7, 2013Awesome place! Food is amazing! Can't go wrong with flatbreads. Their cocktails are pretty good. Sopaipillas are to die for!
Adelia Curtis duarteNovember 18, 2017Put your name down, but try to sneak in at the bar if you can. Love for brunch & dinner! Sunshine fix is the happiest cocktail in SF.
Be sure to order the sopaipillas for dessert -- they're amazing! The cleanest way to eat them is to rip off the corner and pour the caramel inside.
DanAugust 8, 2014It's been said before, but the pork chop is astonishing (and enormous). In summer see if the off-menu salmon collar is available.
Medium rare burger, fries with a surprise dipping aioli each time, several specialty cocktails = my all-around favorite SF restaurant.- Raghav GulatiJuly 10, 2016Pork chop, burger, I could go on and on. Seasonal menu, witty banter with wait staff, a strong bar scene that doesn't disappoint...
Jonathan OrtizNovember 14, 2012Bar none... Best broccoli I've ever had in my life (fire grilled broccoli covered in lemon olive oil with shaved anchovy bread crumbs) Order it.
Emily FaraoneJune 5, 2016Delicious French toast! An amazing staff that loves the food and genuinely cares about your experience.
LaurenAugust 16, 2014Outstanding brunch menu especially the Tasso ham with creamed corn and French toast(a half order is huge.)
Kevin ThompsonNovember 27, 2018Excellent. Casual atmosphere and delicious food. Pasta and seafood exceptional. Would come back!
Stephen MokDecember 5, 2014OK, I know I sound like a broken record given all the other tips… but you just cannot go wrong with the delicious, juicy pork chop!
Kian LaviNovember 14, 2017Where to start? The rabbit loin, the burger, the WARM MARINATED OLIVES. It's all amazing
Wade BurrellAugust 8, 2014Amazing food and drinks. Service was too notch. Be sure to book a reservation well in advance.
Open late so you can eat great. Get the little fried fishes.- The Tastes that Make the CityJanuary 28, 2015The wood grilled hamburger is the best burger in SF, making our list of "The Tastes That Make the City: SF Edition." Read more
On occasion they'll offer you complimentary warm scones if you find yourself at the bar in the post-brunch, pre-dinner timeframe. Best brunch in all of SF.
JonJuly 26, 2014Weekend brunch - grab a coffee from the Mill a few doors down, then rock up here at about 10:15 to snag a spot at the bar.
Ali Uro-MayJanuary 8, 2017One of the best meals I've ever had. Can't go wrong with ordering a bunch of appetizers!
- For brunch on weekends arrive by latest 10am. There will be a queue, but you'll definitely get a table as soon as they open
Try the Soft Scrambled Eggs - Come for the perfect eggs; stay for the Johnnycakes with Jalapeño butter. (via @Foodspotting)

Kate RothenDecember 27, 2011Ignore all desserts. Get the Bo Peep cheese and stone fruit compote, and a glass of the Barolo Chinato (think port and amaro have a baby). Swoon.
Experiences by GroupMeAugust 28, 2012They tell you the dining room wait is two hours but head to the bar and hold out for ten minutes -- lots of room and you can enjoy the whole menu there.
Elliot ChanceMarch 15, 2016This is hipster-fine-dining. The place is open until 1am and really gets pumping by then.
IrisNovember 28, 2012grab a drink at the bar if you're waiting on the table. bartender really knows how to make the cocktails. order the pork chop, flatbread, and burger.
Brad TJanuary 5, 2013True, 0ork chop is def no joke but if its your first go for something else. PC is always on the menu sans Tues so you can always come back.
Megan TarosOctober 15, 2012Save room for sopapillas. Served piping hot with a sweet, warm sauce that's always changing. It's a great way to end a meal.
Laura CNovember 17, 2011Nopa prides itself for being a real San Francisco community center. They support Bay Area artisans (check out the mural!) and serve local, rustic food.
Kelsey KotzebueFebruary 26, 2017Brunch cocktails are spot on. Mezcal Bloody Mary. I never order biscuits but here it is an exception.
squeaselMay 6, 2012pretty fucking tasty for post-midnight food. try the rabbit, or the soft egg, trout, and peas. great selection of alcohol as well.
Mehmet AkdemirJanuary 6, 2014It's an updated take on the Zuni formula, with the success to show. Both neighborhood standby and destination restaurant, Nopa continues to grow admirably under Chef Jossel.
