Seafood Cuisine: 3 Restaurants Found
Farallon
Address: 450 Post Street, San Francisco, CA 94102
Step inside Farallon and feel yourself being whisked away to a mermaid’s paradise. Designer Pat Kuleto’s interior design is so stunning it looks like an art nouveau underwater palace, and may very well be a destination in its own right. Taking cues from the natural beauty of the underwater world, Kuleto fills the space with artful details like jellyfish lamps with graceful trailing tails, and conch-shaped rooms with booths that follow a natural spiral. While the décor is quintessential whimsy, the cuisine is very much rooted in reality, with the elegant, multifaceted creations of Chef and Owner Mark Franz. Franz’s menu of elegant coastal cuisine changes daily, but look for creative dishes such as Pan-Roasted Walleyed Pike with English pea ravioli, braised endive, and mint pesto.

This Michelin two-star restaurant sets the bar high, with exquisite service, gorgeous décor, and stunning cuisine.

Lunch selections are served a la carte or as a tasting,with tantalizing, seasonal creations such as Potato Crusted Langostine with chanterelles, savoy spinach, manila clams and smoked garlic; and Chamomile Scented Hawaiian Walu with zucchini carpaccio, frisee & foie gras salad, and licorice.

Bistro Boudin
Address: 160 Jefferson Street, San Francisco, CA 94113
A scenic view of the San Francisco bay and a great meal. What more could you want? Bistro Boudin offers that beautiful view and puts an emphasis on freshness. Freshly caught seafood and fine wine is what their menu centers around, and with the bakery attached, fresh breads are also featured. Dishes like Salmon with tomato, olive, and sourdough panzanella, and Dungeness Crab “Mac & Cheese” might tickle your fancy. Or those that like meat and poultry can try the Fulton Valley Chicken “Frites,” a dish of half boneless chicken roasted under a brick with natural jus and thin cut fries.
