La Foret

The Best Restaurants In San Jose - San Jose - The Infatuation

"La Foret is located in a creekside boarding house that dates back to the mid-19th century quicksilver boom in the hills above New Almaden. Game is always on the French menu—it’s one of the few Bay Area restaurants serving dishes like elk and wild boar—along with decadent wine- and butter-based sauces. Make a reservation for dinner on the stone patio, just across from the 4,000-acre Almaden Quicksilver County Park—you can go à la carte, or pick from one of three tasting menus. We're partial to the six-course option for its seared scallops in saffron herb cream and elk loin in a portabella cognac reduction." - shoshi parks
