🇺🇸 San Francisco Dining | Foreign Cinema 🎬✨

Finally sharing this gem from late last year—Foreign Cinema, a must-visit in SF’s Mission District, where dinner comes with a side of old-school movie magic. 🍽️ The Experience: Imagine this: You’re seated in a romantic outdoor patio strung with twinkling lights, while a classic film plays silently on a projector screen. The vibe? Pure date-night perfection. Even the indoor space oozes charm with its rustic-chic decor and warm lighting. 🌮 The Food (Mexican-Inspired Californian): While the menu leans seasonal and eclectic, Mexican flavors shine through in unexpected ways. Standouts from our meal: Oysters with Meyer Lemon Mignonette: Fresh, briny, and just tangy enough. Duck Confit with Mole Negro: Rich, fall-off-the-bone duck paired with a complex, smoky mole. "Foreign Cinema" Caesar Salad: Anchovy-lovers, rejoice—this one’s bold and creamy. Wood-Fired Flatbreads: Topped with things like goat cheese and figs—simple but stellar. Dessert? Don’t skip the Chocolate Pot de Crème—silky, dark, and just sweet enough. 🍸 Drinks & Extras: Their cocktail list is as creative as the menu. The "Cinema Blanc" (gin, elderflower, prosecco) was a hit, and their natural wine selection is on point. 💰 Price Point: Dinner for two (with drinks): ~$120-$150. Worth it? Absolutely—for the ambiance alone. 🌟 Pro Tips: Reservations are a must—this place books up weeks ahead. Request the patio for the full movie experience (indoor seating lacks the projector magic). Go at sunset for golden-hour lighting + early film screenings. Final Verdict: Foreign Cinema isn’t just a meal—it’s a night out. The food is very good (though not life-changing), but the atmosphere elevates it to unforgettable.
