    Bacon S.F.: Eating the City's Best

    By Anna Roth | Wed, January 09, 2013

    We kicked off 2013 with a Bloody Mary and a side of slow-cooked brown sugar bacon at Foreign Cinema. Man, that bacon is good, thick-cut and sweet and salty at the same time, with these delicious sugary crispy bits at the ends. It was delicious... More »

    This is a very cool spot. It’s really eclectic. They have movies that are always showing on the screen as you’re sitting there. The food is incredible. It’s French food.

    Deep in the Mission District is a gorgeous restaurant where patio diners are treated to classic film while they eat. Our first experience involved roast chicken and a screening of "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg," and while film serves primarily as background, we have found that this enhanced environment seems to stimulate more cultured conversation than usual. And what better way to enjoy cuisine and company than to have the haunting notes of Vladimir Cosma's "Promenade Sentimentale" floating about as the intriguing "Diva" projects above our heads?

  • 2004 | Best Place for a Blind Date

    A successful first date is a dicey proposition. You have to be funny, but you can't be a clown. You have to be smart, but you can't be a know-it-all. And, above all, you have to pick the perfect restaurant. That's why Foreign Cinema is such an excellent venue. The food is moderately priced and tasty, and finding the Cinema's nondescript facade in the heart of the Mission will prove you know the lay of the land. You can break the ice with a couple of highballs at the connected Laszlo Bar. If... More »

  • 2004 | Best Mixed Grill

    The menu at this sophisticated Mission District spot changes frequently, as do the movies projected on the wall of the big outdoor patio, but you'll often find a mixed grill on the list, an orgy of flesh that encompasses several different kinds of meat, chosen for texture as well as flavor, with interesting accompaniments. We have the happiest memories of one that included superb rare duck breast, a smoky, meaty grilled quail, and a long, thin, meltingly soft house-made chicken sausage, the... More »
