"Mijoté is a French restaurant in the Mission with a $82, four-course tasting menu that changes daily. But these aren’t traditional French dishes that make you feel like you’ve been injected with a tub of butter—instead, the farmers market-inflected plates, which typically involve at least one kind of fruit, are bright and inventive. One day, scallops might be piled high with nectarines and cucumber, and the next you’ll cut into chicken that gets the full sweet-salty treatment from a pluot purée and elderberry jus. The light wooden counter is the best seat in the house (this place used to be an omakase restaurant), so you can watch all the action and sauce-making go down." - julia chen 1, lani conway, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez
