Part of JouJou, Lazy Bear & True Laurel
Inspired equally by great restaurants and louche lounges, JouJou brings French food to the table through the California lens of Chef David Barzelay. Seafood-focused but not exclusively so, our cuisine is centered around cooking great ingredients with every bit of the technique they need, and none that they don’t. No shortcuts, no garnishes, nothing avant garde. Just the food you want to eat again and again, prepared expertly à la carte with some unique and fresh touches. Sometimes it’s a splurge, sometimes it’s not, but it’s never fussy, never difficult.
The dining room spaces allow our guests to choose where they want to play, whether that is the glass-enclosed patio inspired by classic French orangeries and housing the lively main bar, the raw bar seating overlooking the chefs at work, a more intimate and secluded table in the sunken garden dining area, or seeing and being seen in the luxurious semi-circle booths that line the main dining room. JouJou pairs all of this with easygoing hospitality that feels effortless and cool while meeting every need with elegance and poise.
It is a place for a simple glass of Champagne with oysters and frites, or a spectacular night out feasting on pommes dauphine, a plate of chanterelles, an entree of king salmon with sauce Americaine, and bananas foster. It is the place for a timeout and intimate conversation, or a place to celebrate and party. It is a dining room for all of us who need an exciting respite from the reality and mundanity of adulthood. We’re bringing back the excitement of dining out in San Francisco. Come play with us.
