Best French Restaurants in Mission District

“It was just like being at a café in France!” Exclaimed our 89 year old aunt who loved her steak frites with pepper corn sauce. The food is outstanding here. Service equally wonderful. The short ribs tender and flavorful. Apple tartin had the right amount of tartness and paired well with our lattes. “If I still lived in SF I’d be here every week.”

We love this reliably delicious restaurant. I just wish that this and other restaurants in the area were open later. We were able to go after the symphony this evening only because it was a short concert, but usually the opera and symphony conclude too late for us to have dinner here. I realize restaurants are reluctant to commit to later hours given concerns over demand, but I think the ones in this neighborhood would do better business if they did so. We love to eat in this area after a performance, and this is one of the better options. The food is decadently delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and elegant, and the service has never disappointed. They know what they're doing.

Very good selection of wine, cheeses, and charcuterie. The atmosphere is also awesome. So happy this place provides such a cozy and welcoming vibe! The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, making great recommendations to suit your taste. Whether you’re here for a casual evening or a special occasion, it’s perfect. Highly recommend for wine lovers looking for a charming spot to relax and indulge!

Absolutely delighted with our dining experience for a special event with my daughter! The occasion was made even more memorable by the exceptional service, outstanding food, and beautiful atmosphere. A heartfelt thank you to Jonas for his impeccable attention and to the entire staff for their support in making our time truly special.

Le Central holds up! Very classic French food, perfectly executed. Noisy yet my dining companion and I could hear each other perfectly without raising our voices.
