"There’s something old-world about L’Ardoise near the Castro. Heavy velvet curtains guard the dining room, daily specials are written on a chalkboard, and there’s a “no smoking” sign etched into one of the wooden walls. The food is similarly retro and straightforward with French classics—coq au vin, steak frites, and seared chicken breast with potato puree that’s so smooth you could ice skate on it. Tables can be hard to come by, so book a week in advance." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
