Chouquet's San Francisco Reviews
Favorite French restaurant in SF! Love the live Jazz on the weekends. Have tasted the whole menu and lots of great classics… My favorites are the French Onion Soup and the Short Rib.
Great little restaurant! All the food was great. We had french onion soup, burger and quiche lorraine. All the food was very tasty. Salad was fresh, burger was big and yummy, quiche was also very soft and delicious, and the French onion soup was rich and tasty. Will definitely come back!
Stunning patio, attentive and fun staff! My nitpick would be some dishes were under seasoned. 10/10 onion soup. All food was enjoyable and fresh- high recommend.
Awesome vibes and amazing food! Our waiter was so knowledgeable when it came to accommodating for gluten free options. We will definitely be going back soon!
My wife and I were in the neighborhood and stopped in for dinner. Restaurant was delicious, service was excellent, espresso was strong. We ordered the Short Rib and the Canard Confit. Delicious, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. My wife is also gluten-free and these menu items were appropriate without modification. Will absolutely be back.
Chouquet’s is an amazing restaurant! I really love it! it’s one of the only truly authentic French spots in SF. The service is fantastic: super attentive without being over the top. The food is great and traditional (and well beyond just moules frites… ), and they have an easygoing but really good wine selection. Whenever people ask me for my top three restaurants in SF, this is one of them. See you next time!
After being turned away from a nearby restaurant due to a reservation miscommunication, we arrived at Chouquet’s, a French bistro, on the corner of Fillmore and Washington Streets, on a busy Friday night without a reservation. Although the dining room was fully booked, we were offered a table for two on the patio. We were seated promptly and our server, Mark, whom we discovered was also the wine buyer, made a couple of excellent wine recommendation to pair with our menu selections: delicious French onion soup and a perfect quiche. We couldn’t resist dessert and shared a Crème Brulée and Apple Tatin, followed by a complimentary glass of Sauterne, a perfect ending to a most enjoyable dining experience where the combination of excellent food wine, and professional service made it a memorable evening. Note: In the French style of dining, Chouquet’s is not a dine-and-dash restaurant, rather it’s a place to wine, dine, and savor the ambiance and overall experience.
This place was absolutely amazing! Very intimate setting and the staff were so personable and attentive, We celebrated a birthday here for 2 and will definitely be going back just because! Shoutout to Maria and our server whose name I didn’t catch. Next time, though!
I’ve ordered from Chouquet’s before on Uber Eats and it was so good that I had to come in and try it in person, and it was amazing! The staff were so friendly and attentive. Roy and Stefan were especially great and made us feel so welcome. My family and I came in to celebrate my brother’s birthday, and Roy surprised him with a delicious birthday crème brûlée. The food itself was incredible. Our table was split between the Short Rib (tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked) and the Steak & Fries, which came with a rich black peppercorn sauce that tied the whole dish together beautifully. My brother and I both have gluten allergies, and Roy took the time to go through the menu and explain everything thoroughly. They had plenty of gluten-free options, which made dining here so easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Chouquet’s for anyone looking for great food, warm service, and an overall wonderful dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!
I’ve been here multiple times and have brought family and friends and have always enjoyed it. The food is consistently good and the service is warm and friendly, even on days they are busy and feeling rushed. It’s a great neighborhood restaurant.
This place was great! Went with my family and had a great time. Service was on point and the food is delicious. I had the salmon and also got some fries from others on my table. Highly recommend!
After a full day of walking around San Francisco with my wife, we found ourselves in the Pacific Heights neighborhood and decided to stop at Chouquet. From the moment we arrived, we could tell this place was special. The Owner himself was hosting, running around, and making sure every guest was taken care of. His candor, jokes, and genuine hospitality stood out immediately. He took the time to share stories, complimented my wife and me, and made us feel like regulars on our very first visit. That personal touch, combined with excellent food, made the entire experience memorable. I’m the kind of diner who values great meals paired with authentic people and Chouquet delivers exactly that. With 20 years in this location, it’s clear you don’t last that long without being truly good. Thank you to the Owner and the entire team for creating such a welcoming, neighborhood driven dining experience. - Aram
I absolutely love Chouquet’s! Their beef bourguignon is rich and flavorful, and the duck confit is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender inside. The service is excellent, very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a cozy meal. Highly recommend!
I love this neighborhood French cuisine restaurant, especially for brunch on the weekends when they would sometimes bring in a live jazz band to play next to their outdoor dining tables. Their niçoise salad is deconstructed and absolutely delicious. Can’t go wrong with anything on their menu really, sometimes I would also order their mussels or steak.
The food is incredible; entrees are beyond rich with flavors and unique to the French cuisine. I don’t think I have had a meal that delicious in a long time - the Coq a vin was “unreal” good. I cannot overstate that. Staff was friendly, pricing was fair. Would recommend a reservation because it seems like they fill up quick.
Lovely french bistro with very friendly staff! We went on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't too busy and we were able to get a table almost immediately. I had the special (duck confit egg Benedict) while my partner who has a gluten allergy ordered the omelette. Ordered a tuna tartare to share, that was delicious too. Coffee was great and came with refills too! I would absolutely recommend this place!
Came here as a group of 7 on a Wednesday night. Restaurant was half full when we arrived at 7 and filled up as the night went out. Service was friendly and relaxed -- not rushed which gave us lots of time to chat and catch up. Waiter was friendly and had great recommendations: across wine, entree, desserts. We mostly had: Steak, beef bourg. On the fries, if you enjoy truffle flavor, add the truffle oil -- it really makes the fries even yummier! The Steak medium rare was nicely executed with a nice pepper sauce. Beef bourg was tender with a lovely flavor. The apple tart is very yum! And we enjoyed the bordeaux the waiter recommended. Overall, lovely, cozy restaurant that's great for a group catch up.
The staff were incredibly friendly, and the atmosphere was excellent — warm, welcoming, and lively. However, the food could use a bit of improvement. The butter lettuce salad had too many shallots and needed more seasoning for balance. Both of our main dishes were enjoyable, though they didn’t quite stand out. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and with a few small tweaks to the menu, it could be truly great.
A good French delivery option. Have been wanting to try this place out for a while and I was not disappointed. The food was simple but really delicious. Authentic and made with superb ingredients. The roast chicken was done really well but the salmon salad was crazy good. Nice portion sizes too. Should’ve gotten a dessert. Deux glasses up 🍷🍷
The entire experience was bad. We had a big group (8) that made a same night reservation on open table. When we showed up at that time, they told us “we don’t have a table, come back in 45 mins.” When we came back, we waited again for another(!) 45 mins as they told us “five more minutes” over and over. Just tell us the truth lol! Finally, we were sat outside and the host/server/owner(?) had the audacity to correct my fiancé’s French pronunciation. The food was mediocre at best (don’t get the burger!), though the cheese plate featured Delice De Bourgogne, which we enjoyed. Morale of the story: don’t make a reservation on OpenTable here — they don’t check it!
Online orders from are awful! Nobody paid attention to what has been ordered. Lettuce salad ordered with goat cheese and avocado but received with onion (which I am allergic) and bread and butter no butter. When there on site all was good but take out through t platform never arrived as ordered
