From the Restaurant

Fringale, which means "the urge to eat," has been a major contributor to San Francisco's South of Market culinary renaissance. From its opening fourteen years ago, it has remained a favorite dining spot for food lovers, socialites, politicians, artists, celebrities, and journalists. The restaurant's sponged eggshell colored walls, blond wooden chairs, sand and earth toned banquettes and wainscoting, and verdigris bartop create a dining environment that is sophisticated, intimate, and inviting. Fringale is a place where guests can drop in for a glass of wine and snack at the bar or enjoy a tantalizing classic French bistro meal prepared by one of the finest kitchens in San Francisco. Come and experience why Fringale has been consistently rated one of the top French restaurants in San Francisco since its opening.

This is a cute and intimate restaurant. The Foie Gras with date spread is delicious. Australian seabass has a tasty sauce. Price is decent for French restaurant! Good experience in general.

Good value restaurant. Serves mostly french food, but has a grilled calamari appetizer dish that has a very asian flavor to it. They also have perhaps the best Steak Frites in the city – mmm, I can still taste that delicious red wine butter sauce.

small cute and french

Tried this with a group of friends for Dine About Town promotion. Just about the only time I’ll drag myself out to nicer places. ;) It’s located in Soma near a bunch of warehouses and really close to 80. The place is small and cute. There are only a few tables and the staff is always very attentive.

It’s classic french food done well. I would go back again when they’re not doing DAT promotion because the prices aren’t that much more.

What I ate:

    I wasn’t even sure if I liked beets and was worried if the goat cheese would be too strong, but decided.. what the heck, might as well try it. It was delicious! One of the best things ever I think, very light goat cheese cut with the sweetness of the beets made it perfect.
