About Foreign Cinema


From the 
San Francisco Chronicle Top 100 Restaurants list:

"Few restaurants have the broad appeal of Foreign Cinema, and such straightforward, delicious food. Movies play on the covered patio, a fireplace in the loftlike bar adds warmth to cool nights, and Laszlo, an adjoining bar, is a perfect before- or after-dinner stop. There's even an art gallery that can be rented for private events. Gayle Pirie and John Clark construct the quintessential California restaurant with fresh ingredient-driven cooking. Weekend brunch is a winner; don't overlook the fruit 'Pop-Tarts.'"


Specialties:

Beef carpaccio; oysters on the half shell; petrale sole with sauce gribiche; lavender-scented pork chops; grilled curry-scented chicken on soft polenta; pot de creme.
