San Francisco, along with New York City, is one of the United States' culinary capitals. And Californian cuisine has a lot in common with French food: a love of fresh ingredients, simple preparations and focusing on ingredients that are in season. Unsurprisingly, there are a number of French restaurants in San Francisco. Some of them are dotted along Bush St., which runs through downtown towards the Embarcadero. - This restaurant is located in a small, family-run French-style inn right on Bush St. The restaurant has a formal decor, with white tablecloths, fleur de lis designs and French posters. The cuisine is traditional, with choices like frisee and endive salad with broiled duck or Muscovy duck confit with red wine and shallot sauce or filet mignon in mushroom and truffle sauce. For dessert try a orange liqueur souffle.
