CalifornianSan Francisco$$$

Zuni Café is one of the best californian restaurants in San Francisco for date night, especially if you want a strong option in San Francisco.

Zuni Café has occupied its Market Street corner for more than four decades, and the dish that defines it — the whole roasted chicken for two — is as responsible for that reputation as anything else on the menu.

TastyPals Editors
Zuni Café is worth putting on the shortlist for Roast chicken for two with bread salad and Caesar salad—the two orders to build a first visit around. Think of it as a polished night out rather than a quick, casual stop.
