Excellent Food! What a Gem

by OregonMushrooms

We were walking around, and we saw this place. We ordered the Salmon and New York Steak. We ate outside, what a nice night! The food was awesome! The food was cooked perfectly. There was as much french bread as you want, and the staff was very nice. i will definitely eat there again, it was worth going to.

Go here!

by foodieSS4K

I?ve been here before and each time, I have had a very pleasant dining experience. On top of that, did you know this restaurant is teaming up with StreetSmart4kids? It?s actually really cool what they?re doing. I just heard about how SS4K is a nonprofit organization that helps underprivileged teens stay healthy. They are running their ?Dine Out and Donate? campaign here (as well as approx. 70 other restaurants in SF) during October and early November. After having a fabulous dining experience, just fill out the donation form when paying the check (minimum donation $3). This is perfect for people like me, who love to eat out all the time and also like to give back to the community. Check it out for yourself on the StreetSmart4Kids website!

My Favorite Restaurant in SF!

by mllelupita

Wow, after seeing some other people's reviews I don't know if we're even talking about the same place! I have eaten at Cafe Bastille probably 30 times over the past 8 years (pretty frequently considernig I live an hour from SF). I used to live in the countryside of France and I love this bistro's down-to-earth feel all while having amazing cuisine. I've had dates there, birthdays, groups, listened to live music there... it's my favorite restaurant in SF.

I have always found the staff to be friendly and helpful, the menu has great selections and each dish is prepared with care. In the summer, sit outside and listen to the local French crowd speaking (the French embassy is just down the street). In the winter, get a table in the downstairs room inside - it's warm with great ambiance.

ALSO, a note to whomever commented about hating hostesses standing outside of restaurants - this is simply the way it's done in much of Europe; it's no reflection on the service or cuisine you'll find inside the restaurant! Remember, when you step onto Belden street, you're stepping into a little bit of Europe - not America!
