Enjoying Cafe Claude in San Francisco

Before seeing "The Hard Problem" at the Geary Theater, we stopped by for dinner at the well-recommended Cafe Claude in San Francisco, conveniently near the Sutter-Stockton garage.


We made reservations in advance, but Cafe Claude was not very busy Wednesday evening. Cafe Clause serves a limited number of French dishes in a casual setting.


Our waitress recommended the "Brandade de Morue" - a French country dish of  "Salt cod, Yukon gold potato, olive oil, panko, petite salade" for an appetizer. It was an exciting combination of salad and baked cod. We liked it but didn't love it.


I ordered the "Salad de Chevre Chaud," - a classic French salad consisting of "Baby lettuce, warm goat cheese, toasted levain, apple, candied walnuts, and cider vinegar." I really liked it and shared it with Inna.


Inna ordered the famous French Onion soup (which she always calls at fine French restaurants). The version in Cafe Claude was also delicious.



We decided to share the well-regarded "Coq au Vin" for our entree. It was well-prepared, with an incredibly delicious sauce. We really enjoyed it.



We finished our delicious dinner with two cappuccinos and a baked cake. The baked cake was delicious, and I could taste the fine French Valrhona chocolate. Tres Magnifique!

We enjoyed our dinner - especially "Coq au Vin" and the chocolate cake. We hope to be back as it's rare to find such high-quality French restaurants that are also reasonably priced.
