Côte Ouest Bistro is one of the best french restaurants in San Francisco for brunch, especially if you want a strong option in San Francisco.
On Baker Street in the Marina, Côte Ouest Bistro occupies the bones of the old Baker Street Bistro — a lineage that matters, because co-owner Laurent Monchicourt spent decades working through serious French kitchens (Michael Mina, La Folie, Petit Crenn, Chapeau) before he and Chef Martin Sarrailh transformed the space in April 2021 into something with a sharper identity: French-California bistro cooking with a Basque undercurrent.
