Crema's Take

Chouquet's is a rare authentic French bistro in San Francisco's Fillmore neighborhood where the espresso is as carefully crafted as the classic dishes like Short Rib and Canard Confit. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance of attentive but unhurried service, making it ideal for lingering conversations over a strong shot or settling in for a leisurely dinner. With its late opening hours and welcoming outdoor seating, it's become the kind of spot locals stumble upon and immediately want to return to.

My wife and I were in the neighborhood and stopped in for dinner. Restaurant was delicious, service was excellent, espresso was strong. We ordered the Short Rib and the Canard Confit. Delicious, full of flavor and cooked to perfection. My wife is also gluten-free and these menu items were appropriate without modification. Will absolutely be back.

Chouquet’s is an amazing restaurant! I really love it! it’s one of the only truly authentic French spots in SF. The service is fantastic: super attentive without being over the top. The food is great and traditional (and well beyond just moules frites… ), and they have an easygoing but really good wine selection. Whenever people ask me for my top three restaurants in SF, this is one of them. See you next time!

Came here as a group of 7 on a Wednesday night. Restaurant was half full when we arrived at 7 and filled up as the night went out. Service was friendly and relaxed -- not rushed which gave us lots of time to chat and catch up. Waiter was friendly and had great recommendations: across wine, entree, desserts. We mostly had: Steak, beef bourg. On the fries, if you enjoy truffle flavor, add the truffle oil -- it really makes the fries even yummier! The Steak medium rare was nicely executed with a nice pepper sauce. Beef bourg was tender with a lovely flavor. The apple tart is very yum! And we enjoyed the bordeaux the waiter recommended. Overall, lovely, cozy restaurant that's great for a group catch up.

I’ve ordered from Chouquet’s before on Uber Eats and it was so good that I had to come in and try it in person, and it was amazing! The staff were so friendly and attentive. Roy and Stefan were especially great and made us feel so welcome. My family and I came in to celebrate my brother’s birthday, and Roy surprised him with a delicious birthday crème brûlée. The food itself was incredible. Our table was split between the Short Rib (tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked) and the Steak & Fries, which came with a rich black peppercorn sauce that tied the whole dish together beautifully. My brother and I both have gluten allergies, and Roy took the time to go through the menu and explain everything thoroughly. They had plenty of gluten-free options, which made dining here so easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend Chouquet’s for anyone looking for great food, warm service, and an overall wonderful dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!
