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, nothing avant garde. Just the food you want to eat again and again, prepared expertly à la carte with some unique and fresh touches. It is a place for a simple glass of Champagne with oysters and frites, or a spectacular night out feasting on shellfish plateaux, vichysoisse with caviar, an entree of king salmon almondine, 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.
