What people say about Zuni Café

The roast chicken and bread salad are always talked about as being the Zuni signature dish, the crispy skin and very well-seasoned juices with bread that soaks up the juices. Oysters, Caesar salad, and shoestring potatoes seem to be popular companions to this dish, while dining in the cozy corner room makes up part of the experience. There is some waiting time required, and the pacing can be slower at times depending on how busy the café gets, but the experience itself is seen as very traditional.

Restaurant overview

About Zuni Café

Zuni Café is a classic San Francisco eatery with a reputation of seasonal California cuisine with French and Italian twists. Roast chicken for two served on a wood-fired grill is the most famous specialty here. However, the menu also provides a number of oysters, salads, seafood, and market dishes.

Zuni Café alters the menu based on availability of ingredients, so prices and recipes might change from one day to another. Roast chicken requires some additional preparation time that needs to be considered while making your order.

Zuni is suitable for lunch, dinner, and special occasions, not being a pretentious tasting restaurant at all. Zuni’s combination of historic dining room and ingredient-based cuisine makes it a good place for tourists wanting to try an authentic San Francisco restaurant.
