Bask in Cole Valley’s sunshine on Zazie’s back patio over a fine French-inspired brunch. Sip mimosas and restore spirits while recounting the weekend’s (mis)adventures, then head out for new ones in the Haight or Golden Gate Park.

Brunch is to the weekend as bubbles are to a bath: restorative, luxurious, and the perfect excuse to soak in bliss forever. Brunch is also a meal of passion, with fierce debates ranging as to which SF restaurant’s brunch is best. Zazie elegantly steps to the forefront of the San Francisco weekend morning meal scene, and seals the deal with the most delectable eggs benedict and a selection of mimosas, along with house specials like gingerbread pancakes, Challah French Toast, and incredible seasonal specialties.

Every year, 7x7 magazine sates San Francisco foodies’ ever-picky palettes with “The Big Eat,” a list of 100 things to “try before you die.” Zazie’s eggs benedict, enjoyed on the back patio, have landed on that list year after year.

Zazie doesn’t take reservations for Brunch, so sign up with the host and get to know your fellow Francophiles after grabbing a hot cup to go from any of the neighborhood’s coffee shops.
