"While this Cole Valley bistro is consistently swarmed by weekend brunch crowds, we love going to Zazie for dinner when the menu has even more French dishes. Plus, at dinnertime, reservations are plentiful, and walk-ins are easy. Ask for a seat on the heated patio and start with the french onion soup. Make sure to bring at least one other person so you don’t have to choose between the poulet français or the salmon piallat." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"The back patio at this French bistro is filled with wooden booths, and is a place where you'll see just as many four-legged animals as humans. On Monday nights you get $10 off a bottle of wine if you bring a dog, which is just another reason to head over for comforting French food. They serve brunch and dinner every day—which means whenever the craving for incredible french toast strikes, head straight to this charming Cole Valley spot." - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"The French bistro in Cole Valley is a brunch staple thanks to their "miracle" pancakes and crispy home fries. The service is friendly to both humans and animals, and there's a nice heated back patio to enjoy your casual meal in. The only problem: Zazie doesn't take reservations. So, similar to many spots on this guide, expect to wait on the morning your hankering for brunch kicks in." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"Zazie is a San Francisco classic for brunch; it’s also a winner for its charming patio, which is desirable day and night. Lush vines climb up the walls, giving brunch a garden party vibe. Don’t worry; there are heat lamps for when the fog inevitably rolls in. There are also some tables out front for more outdoor dining options, ideal for enjoying that Florentine eggs benny or pancake flight." - Dianne de Guzman
"Not only is Zazie dog-friendly, it’s also a hub for Cole Valley families—parents hunker down with some wine and the kids can run loose on the patio. The French restaurant has a spacious back area that easily accommodates high chairs, strollers, and your kid who finally learned how to wear shoes after a meltdown or five. If you’re here for dinner, we like the seafood stew and charcuterie (or plain burgers for some), but at brunch, it’s all about the home fries." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
