General concensus seems to be that Fringale is the best of the French Bistro type places. They now have a bigger, sister restaurant called Pastis, where you might be more likely to get a reservation. There really are quite a number of good French spots in SF that might meet your criteria. Some that I have found enjoyable: Le Charm -- less expensive than Fringale, nice atmosphere, solid bistro food Cafe Claude -- very casual, simple cafe food, inexpensive Cafe Bastille -- very casual, simple cafe food, inexpensive Bizou -- just near Fringale, so I admit that I have never yet stopped in, but it gets favorable reviews, bisto food Cafe Jacqueline -- just souffles Cassis Bistro -- bistro food Plouf -- seafood bistro, attractive atmosphere Zazie -- country bistro feel, very good food, neighborhood place |> |> Most memorable dishes, surprisingly enough, were a |> side order of snow peas and a side order of spinach, |> both very tender vegetables prepared perfectly. |> |> But I also do remember the entrees were good and the |> desserts were interesting. |> |> Reservations required.

French restaurants in SF
It's still great, I ate there just a couple of months ago. The prix fixe menu's one of the best deals in town. Someone wrote: > > how about Baker Street Bistro? > > (have heard that it's good -- have never been, > except for coffee and great croissants)
