Foreign Cinema, June 17, 2008



Foreign Cinema - French American, Mission
2534 Mission St (between 21st St & 22nd St)
San Francisco, CA 94110
This restaurant is very elegant yet comfortable. They have a great courtyard where the project foreign films on the wall, just for ambiance. They have a number of appetizers they catagorize as an "Urban Picnic" which I think is so fun! The restaurant was full and had quite a wait so mom and I ate in the bar, called the László Bar. It's very industrial yet warm feeling. The bartender who also waited on us was the BEST!!

We had the House Cured Sardines with white bean and roasted pepper salad, queso fresco, and pine nuts - YUM! It was one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. We had the Tuna Tartar with ginger-lime vinagrette, wasabi tobiko, chili oil, and waffle potato chips. The picture is so unappetizing I couldn't post it, but the tartar was one of the best I have ever had. The Urban Picnic we chose was the Baked Fromage d'Affinois with crudité, olivada and potatoes. I will just say .... Melted cheese makes me happy!!!!
