1. Maison Nico
$ | |Some of San Francisco's most exquisite French pastries are baked daily at this serene, cheery shop. On the savory side, most choices tend to be some form of pâté-filled pastry and are presented with all the artistry of haute cuisine; sweets are split between croissant-type items and proper dessert treats. Lunch seekers will be satisfied by the tiny selection of quiche, salads, and sandwiches.

2. Bistro Aix
$$$ | Marina | FrenchIn a neighborhood full of trendy minichains, this over-two-decades-old Californian-French spot is the calm elder statesmen for the often rowdy Marina. The food is unfussy (perfect duck leg confit cassoulet; house-smoked salmon and potato galette) and doesn’t try to be anything overly ambitious, yet everything is consistently on the mark. Sit at the L-shape bar and you’re bound to meet a regular who visits every week.

Servers are polite and friendly without being stuffy, and tables are set with white tablecloths and fresh flowers each night.

5. Jardinière
$$$$ | Hayes Valley | FrenchFamed chef Traci Des Jardins’ restaurant is so sophisticated you may as well be eating at the nearby Opera House. An eye-catching curving staircase leads to an oval atrium, where locals and out-of-towners alike indulge in French-Californian dishes, such as foie gras terrine or sorrel soup. Downstairs is the bar, with artisanal cocktails and smaller plates.

6. La Folie
$$$$ | Russian Hill | FrenchChef-owner Roland Passot's whimsical cuisine takes center stage at this small, très Parisian establishment. The dining room is decorated in warm woods and copper tones, while the prix-fixe menus are served in three, four, or five courses. Dishes may include John Dory with artichoke barigoule and a sunchoke fritter, or a terrine of pig's feet, lobster, and sweetbreads. Vegetarians will be happy to discover a menu of their own. La Folie Lounge next door has cocktails and small plates on the menu—you can also order à la carte off La Folie's menu.

7. ONE65
$$$$ | Union Sq. |It's hard to describe this ode to France's many culinary specialties without a map diagram, as this is a full six-story, four-concept venue just a block from Union Square. The shimmering gem of the house is upstairs, the exquisite fine-dining tasting menu space O' by Claude Le Tohic; the other floors are taken up by a modern cocktail bar (Elements), a more casual bistro and grill (closed for remodeling at time of writing), and a ground-floor bakery and patisserie.
165 O'Farrell St., San Francisco, California, 94102, USA415-814–8888Known For
- Cocktails high above the street at moody, urbane Elements lounge

- Stellar house-baked breads

8. RN74
$$$$ | SoMa | FrenchCelebrated sommelier Rajat Parr draws oenophiles to this Michael Mina restaurant, named after the highway that crosses through Burgundy (Route Nationale 74). But the market-driven French menu is a star in its own right. Executive chef Michael Lee Rafidi gives equal time to classics, like steak tartare, and more modern dishes, like a chanterelle tart with Asian pear. The clever dining room has a train station motif (wines are listed on large departure boards). A post-work crowd tends to dominate the bar and lounge, while the dining room is welcoming to business diners and those on a date.
301 Mission St., San Francisco, California, 94105, USA415-543–7474Known For
- French-California dining
- Excellent wine list
