"We like coming to this Cole Valley spot for brunch and enjoying their great pancakes and French toast on the serene, hidden back patio. But the French bistro is also open for dinner, so heading over for a weeknight catch-up with friends is never a bad idea either. And if you have a friend who physically can’t stop fostering puppies and/or refuses to leave the house without their dog glued to their side, come on a Monday—that’s when Zazie allows dogs on their parklet and in the backyard, and offers $10 off a bottle of wine if you bring one." - julia chen 1
