Cafe de la Presse - San Francisco, CA
This is one of my favorite casual little French restaurants in the City. Expect to pay around $100 for two with soup, salad, main course and coffee/wine though.
This is what one of the the reviews said:
Right by the gates of Chinatown you'll find this Gallic cafe that's a dead ringer for the kind that populate those quaint little side streets just off the Rue Rivoli. It is chic in a determined, downscale way with half of the already cramped floor space given over to French newspapers and periodicals. The centrally located counter jockeys for position with the closely packed tables and chairs. Huge windows alleviate the claustrophobia and the wait staff, conducting serious conversations in rapid-fire French, take you to a different hemisphere. The food can, too. It is upscale cafe fare, well prepared and heavy on sandwiches (on baguettes, if you insist), soups (Gratinee, but of course) and salads (Nicoise among others, could you doubt it?). The desserts change daily and are never less than scrumptious. The crowd is mostly young, sometimes European, and always the height of hip.
