Fois Gras

1. Gary Danko

Neighborhood: Fisherman's Wharf

definitely overhyped and extremely inconsistent.  some dishes were exellent--the seared fois gras appetizer was one of the best i've had except that they didn't properly clean or remove the stringy...

2. Chapeau!

Neighborhood: Outer Richmond

okay i think. since i came here on a weekend night, i didn't get to take advantage of their reduced prix fixe. i ordered the fois gras, lamb and a dessert and was also able to sample the onion soup...

3. La Folie

Neighborhood: Russian Hill

their fois gras, it melts in your mouth and is worth the clogging of your arteries. Both times I had the prix fix menu, and it was worth every dollar. It is REALLY pricey, but I would go...

3. Le Charm French…

Neighborhood: SOMA

4. La Bergerie…

Neighborhood: Inner Richmond

allow you to swap it.   I would recommend the veal, filet mignon, or rack of lamb. Escargot (for appetizers) was not bad too. The sauce that comes with the escargot is excellent with the free bread...

5. Jeanty At Jacks

Neighborhood: Financial District

with puff pastry and the escargot left me speechless.  Sound overly dramatic?  It was.  Then the main courses came out.  Cassoulet, a giant bowl of French slop consisting of beans, bacon, sausage...
