    Escargot
    Karina S.

    Came here for a Sunday dinner and got seated immediately for a party of 2 in the backyard patio which was super cute (and allows dogs!) Had the escargot, salade toscanes, and cup of the soupe du jour which was a Moroccan lentil soup. Definitely a bit on the pricier side for the amount of food received, but appreciated the complimentary bread and butter.

    Stopped by Zazie its a neighborhood café with a relaxed atmosphere that reminded me of some of the places I visited in Europe. Service was friendly, and the wine recommendation was spot on. We went with the mussels and pork chop based on our server's suggestion. The mussels were great, and right when I was thinking some bread would be nice to soak up the broth, our server asked if we'd like some. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, and the pear sauce paired with it really well. The potato gratin was the only thing that fell a little flat for me, it could have used a bit more seasoning. I also like their no tipping model. The prices are a little higher, but I'm all for paying a bit extra if it means the staff is earning a living wage. I've heard brunch is fantastic so I'll definitely be back to give that a try. Overall, a great experience and a spot I'd happily return to.

    Mother's day brunch (be prepared for a wait to be seated!) Eggs Benedict (2) - Albert and Divorce' - I had the Albert and wife and sister had divorce. The hollandaise was perfect and the bacon was thick cooked to perfection (wish I ordered side as well) Scramble - (Dad) - Fontainbleau - Mushrooms were excellent and the amount of spinach and cheese was perfect to balance OG French Toast - (Mom and kids)Toasty on the outside chewy and soft on the inside, butter was fresh and perfect to taste , excellent syrup as well. Smoked Salmon Sandwich -(Teenager) It was larger than she expected somehow, she normally finishes everything, she also had a lot of capers which she doesn't like too much of, so that I am sure threw her off. On the flip side if you like a good portion of salmon and capers you won't have any issues here Side of Chicken Apple Sausage- I wish it was smokier and less sweet Bloody Mary - The best bloody mary I've had on a brunch that I can remember, I would drink one rn, lol Mango Juice and Orange Juice - Odwalla - so yum! Excellent service, perfect meal, I will be back :) Thank you for a memorable meal Zazie

    Pate Maison
    Anh T.

    This was a great spot for dinner! My friend and I had made a reservation on a weekday night. We started with their pate maison, which was rich, slightly heavy on the pate, but smooth and full of flavor. The salad variety helped balance out the heavier pate. We also tried their pasta printemps, which was fresh and really satisfying. It was a contrast to the pate and more well-balanced. Good dining experience with dishes that were comforting.

    finally got to try an SF staple! outdoor space is stunning on a sunny sf day and just a classic brunch spot. good serving size!

    I have been here countless times over the last 10 years. The most recent time, I was met by a new server I'd never seen before. While food was as delicious as ever, the server gave us wayyyyyy too much time between getting the menu and actually taking the order. This continued to dessert. Even though only 2 options were available, we were given around 20 minutes to decide, which was a really painful wait considering we were falling asleep and had early morning the next day.

    Seafood stew - forgot menu name. Delicious
    Lei H.

    Very cute and delicious restaurant. First time to a place in sf where menu price already included tax and tip. It's refreshing and I wis more places would do this. I had the petite salad and bourride zazie. At first I wasn't impressed with the salad. Just came out with a healthy serving of mixed greens but the dressing made it all better. I had it on the side and end up eating the whole bowl of salad. $9 The bourride or seafood stew was divine - very flavorful and monkfish was tender. $49 My friend had the salmon which she ate to the last bite. The warm bread and butter was a nice opening and it was free. The place was cozy and welcoming. Definitely will be back. Only odd thing was the credit card surge of 2.9%. For a restaurant that was trying to eliminate extra charges, weird to get a $2 extra charge for my $70 meal. Wish they would just build that in to complete the experience. Otherwise a very nice evening and yummy food

    Mexico scramble
    Natalia B.

    Whenever I'm in Cole Valley I always see a big crowd outside Zazie, so my partner and I finally decided to try it and see what the hype was about. Prices are on the higher side, but that's because they pay staff an hourly wage and the restaurant is tip-free, which I appreciated. The employees all seemed genuinely happy and were very friendly when greeting diners. The space is a bit tight, with lots of tables inside and out. They also have a heated back patio, which makes outdoor seating comfortable even on cold, gloomy SF mornings. I ordered the Mexico scramble which has chorizo, white cheddar, roasted peppers, and salsa fresca. It also comes with a side toast and home fries. The dish was tasty and they were generous with the chorizo. I especially liked the pico de gallo on top, though I wished it had a bit more spice. The potatoes were nicely crispy and the toast was... well, standard toast. My partner ordered the seasonal huevos rancheros which had eggs, beans, tortillas, avocado, queso fresco, and pico de gallo. He really enjoyed the flavors and thought it was a solid dish. We also shared a side of pancakes, and those were definitely the highlight. They were warm, fluffy, and perfect with the maple syrup. If you go, I'd strongly recommend ordering pancakes. Overall, the food was good but didn't quite live up to the long wait and hype for us. Service was friendly, but after our order was taken it was hard to get drink refills or additional help. Everyone was nice, just a bit forgetful.

    Two eggs and apple sausages
    Helen H.

    TLDR: Zazie is a nice local brunch spot in Cole Valley, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here. Food was good but nothing particularly special that you couldn't find elsewhere in the city. Service was a bit slow during an off-peak time, and the ambiance / environment was just fine. Prices were definitely high relative to what you're getting, but partially because they embed the tip in the menu prices. Still, we had a nice time and enjoyed our meal here. ------ FOOD: 1. MIRACLE PANCAKES (5/5) If I ever come back, would definitely order these again. They're thicker than their normal pancakes (maybe 2-3x thicker), much more moist, and topped with a big dollop of whipped cream and soft, caramelized banana slices. Plus some syrup, and this is a wonderful sweet bite for brunch. 2. BUTTERMILK PANCAKES (4/5) Had a strong buttermilk flavor, which I appreciated. These are thin pancakes about the size of a large dinner plate (so substantial). However, I thought they were a bit dry and really needed syrup to taste good. I'd definitely pay up to get something like the Miracle pancakes instead, or maybe one of their french toasts. 3. EGGS WITH CHICKEN APPLE SAUSAGE (3.5/5) I got two soft scramble eggs with 2 stout sausages, wheat toast, and their salad. Salad was basic -- just mixed greens and some dressing. Wheat toast was a single small piece of toast that was somewhat toasted and cut in half. Sausages were good but they're small. Eggs were cooked too long to be considered "soft scramble" so they were just fully scrambled eggs, which was fine with me but worth noting. They were completely unseasoned though, so I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to taste. In general, they have an extensive menu of eggs (in many formats), breakfast meats, sandwiches, salads, and pancakes, so most people can find something that generally suits them. ------ SERVICE: * Our waitress was nice enough but service in general was lackluster. There were 5 of us at the table but they only brought 4 water glasses. Then later a different waitress brought some pancakes and she gave us a bit of attitude when we surprisingly remarked (amongst ourselves!) that this wasn't quite what we ordered * Waiting to get our orders taken and then to get the check took some time even during off-hours for brunch, though it was a Saturday * When you arrive you can put your name down on an iPad they have outside to get on the Yelp waitlist ------ AMBIANCE / ENVIRONMENT: * No frills, wooden tables, just felt like your local spot that's been dutifully serving its neighborhood for many years * Great place for a casual catch up with friends (if you're near the area). They can comfortably accommodate tables of up to 6 people, and for anything above 6 you just need to speak with them * Parking can be a bit tough to find in this area but there are so many streets nearby where you might be able to find an opening, so budget in 10 extra minutes * The neighborhood in general was so cute and residential. Lots of dogs, felt super safe, and some cute shops nearby, though this street of stores / restaurants is not very long

    Not sure if I would return because the wait could be quite long. This place is also tiny and the tables were stacked to next each other, feeling crammed. Nothing extravagant or bad about their food. You can't really mess up pancakes and sandwiches. lol

    Monica L.

    Deliciousness all around...except the regular coffee. I had the bananas foster French toast and it was amazing. Unlike anything I would usually order so I'm glad I did. The place was packed mid morning on a weekday. Service was good and attentive. If I had actually looked and known a regular black coffee was going to cost me $6 I would have skipped it or ordered a specialty coffee that was a little less or even gone to Peet's just 2 doors down and ordered a decent coffee from them instead.

    Coq au vin
    Guillermo R.

    Hands down my absolute favorite neighborhood place. Been eating here for years and plan to continue to do so. I skip the weekend Brunch lines and come mid week for breakfast. From the hamburger, chicken, fish and pastas you can't go wrong. I've tried all the menu items. The cheese plate and burger are my go to but they n this last visit they had a seasonal Cassoulet and braised duck leg with sausage and white beans was perfect for a cold evening. My partner ordered the Coq au vin and it melted in your mouth. The staff make this neighborhood spot special. They make feel at home and are fun and engaging. It can get busy but worth the wait. I especially like seeing neighbors also dinning here and that's like umami.

    Lorenzo C.

    Really great dinner spot in Cole Valley. The service was very nice and the waitress was knowledgeable on the wine and food. Highly recommend their pre-fix menu option. Will definitely be back.

    How much is the health insurance charge now?

    25% of every menu item is paid out to the staff.

    Is there still a health insurance charge on all meals?

    Yes there is still a health insurance charge.

    Are you still requiring proof of vaccination?

    No you don't need proof of vaccination

    Do you allow combinations for an eggs benedict order? Let's say is it possible to order in 1 plate a La Mer and Bretagne?

    Ha! I tried that. The answer was no, but I could get 1 of the ingredients I wanted as a side.

    Do you allow BYOB? Any corking fee?

    Tuesday Night is No Corkage, so you can bring in as many bottles as you can gracefully handle. Any other night, corkage is $20 up to 2 bottles.

    Is the hollandaise sauce gluten free?

    It is gluten free! And you can also substitute a GF English muffin as well.

    How can I reserve for birthday brunch for a group of 8 people?

    Unfortunately they don't take reservations, but it wouldn't hurt to ask

    What exactly are the vegan brunch options? I didn't see any except for oats?

    The vegan breakfast was awful. I found a massive piece of salami in mine

    Are there any vegan options?

    Yes! We do have some vegan options for brunch and dinner. They are a bit limited...it's a bit tricky to avoid butter at a French Bistro, but we have things that you'll enjoy.

    Do you take reservations for breakfast? Or can we get on the waitlist via yelp?? Thinking of coming in on Tuesday for a group of four on the patio.

    Zazie doesn't take reservations. Your whole party must show up together, get on the wait list, and wait out in front to be seated.

    Are there heaters for outdoor dining?

    Yes

    Do you have to use the Yelp wait-list kiosk at the restaurant or can you join the Yelp wait-list via your own phone?

    Unfortunately it was unsuccessful on our end to have the remote sign in on Yelp Waitlist available. People were very late for their seating, didn't show up at all, or even signed up from other countries, so you do need to sign up on our Kiosk at the… 

    Are they still open for dining on their patio or outside? Thanks!

    Yes they are, great service, go online to their yelp page, they have a waitlist online if it's busy

    How long is the wait for lunch on weekdays?

    The wait for brunch on weekdays is much less than weekends, unless it is a holiday, or a big event is in town...think Bay 2 Breakers, Outside Lands, Hardly Strictly. So typically 20-30 minutes, at most, but more often you can come right in,… 

    Is this business kid-friendly?

    Of course, they are soo accomodating to everyone!

    Is BYOB allowed?

    On Tuesday they have BYO wine with no corkage fee!

    Do they allow dogs on the back patio?

    When I was there, the people next to me had a dog. Keep in mind the patio is very small. :)

    Is it easy to find parking?

    We usually find parking in the neighborhood; 2+ blocks away.

    What are their brunch hours?

    8-2

    Hi! Does anybody know if the bloody marys are good? It's my GFs fave brunch drink and I'm thinking about taking her here for birthday brunch. LMK :)

    Yes! I also enjoy the mimosas. Have fun!

The stars of the show were definitely the wine and the garlic noodles. I wouldn't recommend sharing the Wagyu dog as it got a bit messy. Everything was definitely overpriced, and portions were small. We had to order takeout from another restaurant afterwards to satiate our hunger lol.
