Burgers for brunch? You'll thank yourself later for going to Nopa and trying their Grass Fed Hamburger with pickled onions and french fries and maybe wash it all down with a Bloody Mary. Read more

Come for brunch! The pan de mie French toast is crazy-good - days old bread is soaked in custard before being seared and topped with oozing roasted strawberries and lemon butter (made in house). Read more

They have seriously some of the best french fries I've ever had! The crostini with goat cheese is awesome. The pappardelle is delicious and has a hearty meat sauce.

Had the rabbit legs with dates, preserved lemon and tzatziki and oh my that was absolutely fantastic! Great imaginative composition and flawless execution! You have to try it
Gregory ChomatasFebruary 7, 2014
Great food! The grilled pork chop is delicious as well as the toasted quinoa with smoked trout, hazelnuts and blood orange. It is popular so reserve to avoid waiting or try for the big shared table

Best restaurant in SF/the world! Literally every single thing is incredible here. Try the pork chop! Need to make reservations 1 month in advance.
John YDecember 31, 2012
highly recommended for brunch: biscuit w/ pumpkin butter; custard french toast; goat cheese bread pudding; soft scramble; mezcal bloody mary [dec 2012]

The pork chop was excellent. Wood fired anything is excellent. Made a reservation for 1045pm and there was still a line!

Nope is beautiful, service is super kind and the atmosphere is super fun. Food is good, not everything on the menu is fantastic though. Burger was good, I had better in the city.
Coralie SabinAugust 23, 2015
I really love their French toast but everything I tried was amazing. Their cookie in a skillet is a must for dessert! Make a reservation if you can.

NOPA owes its kudos to thoughtful people like Stephanie and our beautiful server Ayele. People make food that make a restaurant special and people create service that make lasting, lifetime memories.
BommyAugust 3, 2014
Truly the best burger in SF. Try the smoked trout with quinoa and blue bottle cocktail. Custard french toast and smoked trout bagel are brunch winners.
Sam LeeOctober 10, 2015
Damn good food. If I had to pick one restaurant to dine at during a trip to SF, this would be it. "Chef's Table" an entertaining touch to the night.
Frances 미라January 12, 2014
Get the burger, and avocado appetizer. Add the avocado to the burger and thank me after. It's a party in your mouth. Mmmm
JulienFebruary 23, 2018
Warm goat cheese and the burger are absolute must!! To die for!! Best place I’ve been to in SF!! Staff, service, food, place... go!

I highly recommend the grass fed burger (it comes with delicious fries and aioli sauce) along with an order of anything from their cocktail menu! But seriously, everything here is great.

Order a Blue Bottle Coffee cocktail. It's delicious! Substitute bourbon for the usual vodka. It's on the dessert menu or brunch menu, but order it anytime!
Christopher TaiMay 17, 2013
This place is my favorite restaurant in SF. Start with the poached duck egg over asparagus. The duck breast medium rare was perfect. End the meal with the sopaipillas!
Mike Ottavi-BrannonAugust 20, 2018
Grab a burger and a cottonmouth from the seasonal Assassin Squad cocktail menu. For an exceptional experience grab a seat at the bar and ask for Justin.

LOVE! Go around 10:15 before they open and stand in line. As everyone is putting their name in sneak a spot at the bar (full service there & no wait)!
Bohdan HnatkovskyyJune 14, 2015
Very nice place. It is separated for two zones - bar and dinning one. Food is very delicious, but, as for me, it is specially good for cocktails.

Amazing for brunch! Come grab a seat on the second floor to people watch and look over the kitchen.
Adelia Curtis duarteNovember 18, 2017
Put your name down, but try to sneak in at the bar if you can. Love for brunch & dinner! Sunshine fix is the happiest cocktail in SF.
Vic ZaudDecember 17, 2014
Pretty much everything. I had the 9-hour Bolognese which was wonderful and sweet. Also loved the turnip soup.
Anthony PopeoMay 12, 2017
Get a reservation weeks ahead of time. Fantastic (albeit a little slow) service and delicious food. Avo toast and the pork chop were great.
Jonathan CapecchiJune 29, 2015
Called to book a table but was told to just arrive and it would be all good. Our group of seven all arrive 10 mins later by uber and told we have a 2.5 hour wait. I don't imagine it's worth it...next
joahnnaSeptember 27, 2018
Get the goat cheese + pear + blackberries... And the avo toast is quite yummy and different than the usual.
Marcie KowalskiOctober 22, 2013
Food is fantastic. What's not fantastic is the 2 hour wait if you don't have a reservation! The mushroom, broccoli with bacon and poached egg BLEW my mind!

If you like coffee, get the blue bottle coffee martini. It's on the dinner menu, but it's great to order early to enjoy with your meal. Pork chop and sopaipillas are yum!!!

Weekend brunch... show up at 10:30, have a drink at the bar and be seated by 11:15. Try the chorizo and French toast!
Jake LewisOctober 29, 2019
The porch chop & chicken are staples. You can't go wrong with these two. Always go for desert it's worth splurging for!
Anna JamesJune 24, 2018
Simple and delicious food. Ordered the smoked trout, butter basted eggs, and French toast.
Nicole RocchioNovember 27, 2018
Mushroom toast is incredible, but everything I consumed was tasteful! The pappardelle and autumn squash 👌🏻

Everything is good here BUT special shout outs to the burger, the chicken, the cocktails.
Bridget GaelAugust 14, 2022
Nice cocktails and wine list. I liked the summer squash best. Other big American classics were fine (fried chicken, paparadelle)
Nancy WuMarch 24, 2013
Had high expectations for the pork chop and it did not disappoint. Paired well with $9 Touriga red wine. Awesome sopaipillas. Cod was just okay, would come back again to try the hamburger:)
Cole KennedyOctober 28, 2018
Occasionally they will have a guest chef, and the guest chef will add items to the menu like this absolutely rockin’ bone marrow.
Eugene LeeSeptember 29, 2013
Avocado tomato salad: 8.25/9, arugula pear date salad: 7.5/9, grilled leg o lamb: 7/8.5, grilled broccoli: 7.5/9
Cassandra ClarkSeptember 19, 2018
The best restaurant in SF. Order everything on the menu and have no regrets.
Fiona StripeJune 5, 2016
Of all the places that boasts good French toast in SF, Nopa must be one of the best, if not THE best! It's incredible.
Johnnie SkywalkingMay 4, 2014
have to wait at the counter for long but its really worth it. wtching the cooking and having a sip of wine in the counter area somehow help through it.
KKNovember 12, 2013
Kitchen seats made the whole wait worth it! Everything on the menu was amazing. Had to come back for the dessert we couldn't fit the first time.
Anthony SextonFebruary 12, 2018
Everything here is awesome!! The burger is delicious (and a menu staple). The pappardelle bolognaise is awesome too.
JonJuly 26, 2014
Ham with poached eggs and tomatoes was absolutely phenomenal - those tomatoes are absolutely packed with flavour.
Nitzan BSeptember 9, 2019
Excellent food, place was packed for Sunday so make a reservation for the weekend. Get the French toast!
Mandar PathakFebruary 5, 2017
Just like everyone says, the custard French toast is absolutely delicious! The Spanish tortilla is a pretty good too.
WhiskeyAvengerJune 13, 2018
I love this place. Great food and cocktails. And open late! A great place to go after the bars close.
AnthonyAugust 19, 2015
Really enjoyed the flatbread and the salmon, but who knows if that will be on the menu when you go, it changes often!
Alison OlssonMarch 12, 2014
As most others noted, the pork chop was amazing. End the meal with the chocolate ganache tart - the perfect combo of sweet / salty.
ChrisDecember 29, 2017
Burger is intense. Try to sit near the kitchen if possible to see the magic unfold.
