Vietnamese-Inspired French Cuisine in San Francisco 🍴✨

A 30-year-old gem serving creative Vietnamese-French dishes that keep surprising the palate! Each dish may sound simple, but from presentation to the first bite, it’s a continuous wave of delightful surprises — thoughtful, elegant, and deeply flavorful. 🧄 Curried Short Rib & Garlic Bread Nothing short of spectacular! 🐄 Short rib slow-cooked in aromatic coconut curry until it melts in your mouth. Served with garlic bread packed with real garlic bits — dip it into that rich curry, and it’s a soft, fragrant, heavenly bite. 🦑 Squid Ink Fried Rice A stunning take on fried rice! 🍚 Ink-black rice stir-fried with shrimp, topped with golden crispy rice and fish roe for that perfect crunch. Every spoonful is a texture celebration. 🐦 Quail – Flambéed at Your Table A performance and a dish in one! 🔥 The quail is flambéed right before you, then split in half — juicy, tender, with a subtle hint of liquor. An unforgettable starter. 🦐 Tiger Prawns with Noodles Thought it was just prawns? Surprise — underneath lies a generous bed of wok-tossed noodles! 🍤 The prawns are fresh and bouncy, and the noodles soak up all the delicious flavors. 🥗 Lotus Root Salad A refreshing, sweet-and-sour salad with crispy lotus root that offers a light, airy crunch with every bite. Perfect for balancing the rich flavors. 🌇 They recently opened a branch in Stonestown, but I visited the original Clement Street location — full of that classic SF charm. Watching the sunset from the window as the city lights turn on? Pure magic. 🍽️ Le Soleil 📍 133 Clement St, San Francisco #SanFrancisco #SFfood #SFdining #BayAreaEats #WeekendInTheBay #SFtravel #BayAreaFinds #NewInSF#VietnameseFrenchFusion #ElegantEats #HiddenGem #FoodieHeaven
