If you are a salmon lover, get the salmon. Absolutely amazing. I always regret not getting it. Be sure to make a reservation, even if you plan to sit at the bar!
Sonita LontohMarch 31, 2013Always the best French casual bistro. The burger and baked Camembert are to die for. Go there late on Saturday nights.
Linda YangJuly 16, 2017Solid French food. Mussels and fries, escargots 🐌 were good. Loved sitting outside and people-watching in Hayes Valley.
Chez Maman (either location) is the best. Definitely two of my favorite places to be in SF, or the world. The service is casual yet impeccable. The mussels, especially the Poulette, are heart-melting.
Caroline FaureAugust 24, 2014I live the Moules Poulette with cream, shallots, bacon and parsley! They are as good as in Belgium! A little French restaurant in the middle of a super trendy neighborhood 😊
Parsa OloumiMarch 15, 2021Such a great French Food Restaurant with perfect Service , so delicous Mussels with fair price , also French Onion Soup was so tasty . Burger is not my choice here .
Mohit SAugust 8, 2014If you're not getting the mussels here, you're doing it wrong. Get the Thai Lemongrass sauce and you'll be licking your fingers well after the fries are all gone.
Elizabeth BursteinJune 1, 2019Loved the mussels w white wine sauce, burger is divine w either cheddar or goat cheese, and french onion soup so so good
- Caro SchieferApril 14, 2017Was simply great. Fantastic service (well of course as most of them are French) and very good wines! All dishes we had where delicious. Especially the flat steak and the fries!!
Laura BabbiliAugust 19, 2013Go with a group of three if you can. Get the French onion soup, steak tartar, mac and cheese, pork chop and mussels. Share everything, family style. Delicious and the perfect amount of food.
An ShengAugust 7, 2019Muscles were tasty and clean, although a few were closed. Dip the bread in the sauce!
So good. Starting with the basic bread and butter through to the French onion soup, burger (+goat cheese & avocado), and Nutella-banana crepe. A Hayes favorite.
Suki SooJuly 24, 2016Our dinner was perfect, from the Escargot, to the delightful Mac & Cheese, and the perfectly grilled salmon with Brussels sprouts. Will come back to try other items.
Anna IurchenkoNovember 29, 2012French onion soup very good. If you like cheese try hot camamber starter with grilled garlic and crispy toasts.
Time Out San FranciscoOctober 1, 2014Try a burger with gruyere, bacon and fried egg at this homey French bistro in Hayes Valley, which is among the best places in town. Read more
Nisha MenezesSeptember 7, 2014Mussels in choice of sauce. Skip the fries, ask for extra bread to dip in broth. Slurp away deliciousness!
French speakers left and right. lots of outdoor café style seating. definitely an authentic atmosphere
Andrea ReynaFebruary 21, 2015The food id amazing. I wish I could have ordered everything. The flatiron steak was delectable. Mimosas and desert crepes are a must.
Adam BraceSeptember 21, 2014Order the burger medium rare, cooked fantastically. Pair it up with some extra toppings I went with bacon Brie and avocado, fantastic.- Yoeri RoelsJune 20, 2013Nice people, great food, not too pricey. Love it! Try the French fries; first ones I found in San Francisco that taste just right.

Renan CakirerkAugust 12, 2013Burgers are amazing. From bread to meat. I got regular burger with roquefort and bacon.
My favorite spot in Hayes! Mussels! Fries! Arugula salad! Yuuuuum!
Just my everyday French restaurant. Always a fun place to have a glass of wine and steak and fries.
Dina GoncharovaAugust 27, 2012I'm in live with this place!!!! The service was great! The food:French onion soup, veal in creamy sauce mushrooms delicious!!!!!!
Excellent French selection. I always have to start with their onion soup. Tres bien
Chongho LeeJune 15, 2013Get these and you won't regret: French onion soup, Mussels with poulette sauce, and Pork chop steak.
Lots of outdoor seating makes it more Covid safe. Hayes is shut down now so you can get a table right in the street!
Aymeric FreymondAugust 20, 2014If you're French, you gotta take the Hachis Parmentier: it feels like home !!- Benson BleierApril 13, 2016The French onion soup and burger were delish. Burger was only 12$ and came with fries and small side salad.
Delicious french food & great wines!! Great staff - Hi David! Fast & flawless every time.
AnikaJune 4, 2015Service - ok. Wine - really bad. Food - not great. The French onion soup was more cheese than soup - a big glob of rubbery cheese makes up half the dish. The soup underneath was nice.
c0uPFebruary 27, 2014The Elote Asado (grilled corn) is dope! Genius idea to stick a fork at the end of it.
Tanner ChristensenJuly 30, 2015Incredible food and absolutely phenomenal service. Order mimosas and try a classic burger.
- Lauren HofffmanAugust 26, 2015They have a dog friendly, dog friendly patio...bring your dog to dinner with you!
Jocelyn LevigMarch 11, 2013Went here for brunch and had the Eggs Norvegian + avocado...it was brilliant! Definitely will come here again.
Jon BrennanJuly 25, 2012One of the best burritos I've had in SF...from a French restaurant. Go for the chicken super burrito.
Christine BorkowskiNovember 24, 2015This place is insanely good! Nice wine selection and friendly staff.
BommyDecember 12, 2015Meh not worth the $$. Both the regular and veggie burger are more like sandwiches and forgettable. One good thing though is that you can call ahead to be put on the waitlist.
