NmFebruary 27, 2016Oatmeal brûlée is a must .. Great breakfast options .. Tip free and outstanding service 👍
Chefs FeedDecember 3, 2015"I usually go with the onion soup, piping-hot with melted cheese that is so stringy it won't break unless you take a pair of scissors to it." Chef Tim Luym Read more
Helio MedeirosApril 9, 2016Best brunch ever! I should have the amazing pancakes, but finish your entries first they're better hot :)
- Andy McMillanNovember 30, 2012The La Mer Benedict (read: crab benedict) everyone is mentioning is on the specials menu, not the main menu with the rest of the poached egg dishes. Order it, it's pretty great.
Definitely get the elderflower mimosa. La mer crab Benedict and Tahiti French toast are yum
Prakash NairAugust 25, 2016My favorite brunch spot. The hype is real, the lines are stuff of legends. Tahiti french toast is the best french toast I have had.
Daniel WilliamsSeptember 5, 2019Quaint atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delectable food. Eggs Benedict with salad was unbelievable.
O LAugust 9, 2021Yet to try the breakfast, but the dinner was amazing. High quality but simple French food done brilliantly. Better than Chez Maman ;)
Jessica ContoliniOctober 29, 2015Their eggs Benedict (poached eggs) are amazing! Everything on the menu looked delicious, so it was difficult to decide what item to order!
Christina LorMay 6, 2013Love the gingerbread pancake with lemon curd & mimosa with elderberry. If you could bring the Bloody Mary from Finnergan's and mix it with Zazie's you'll be in business.
Asia AineJuly 28, 2016Awesome breakfast place! Florentine eggs and mexican scrambles are excellent and you can get soyrizo! Very friendly staff. Tip free.
RoxannaAugust 11, 2014"Curb-side" tables are first come first served! No need to put your name down - just grab a table! Saved us tons of time on a Sunday morning!
Julian PoulterOctober 4, 201680 minute wait after putting name on list, but bar best door and watched football and Ryder Cup. Excellent eggs and Rancheros.
Nishanth ChandranOctober 29, 2017The food is so good but the service last time was so horrible. This place was one of my favorites but it's been so downgraded. Try it if you are OK with hit or miss service.
Ann LopezFebruary 25, 2017Got the eggs Benedict with potatos. Delightful! Pancake are worth the price! Pure gold!
MaddyJuly 12, 2012delicious brunch... get the zazie tea, its $4.50 but you get a decent sized pot, id say 5 full tea cups worth. very much worth it, and i know my tea :)
Andrew JordanMay 13, 2017The brunch is good here but the dinner might be better. Incredibly well executed French food at a good price with enthusiastic service.
Brunch here is great (I love the scrambles) but dinner is also worth a visit for some classic French items
Claire PedersenApril 12, 2015AMAZING brunch! Try and sit outside it is way worth the wait. Don't forget to get the Griddle Flight for the table.
Kevin NelsonMarch 24, 2013Their bloodies aren't very good. The benedicts and the potatoes are fantastic. Spoiler alert: the potatoes have whole roasted garlic cloves. Super awesome.
Eli OwensFebruary 19, 2017The soy chorizo and eggs was delicious! Also tried the 2 poached eggs on dungeness crab and it was amazing.
Iris NgApril 11, 2013In mood for sweet- French Toast is very tasty- banana-walnutty. Coffee drinks expensive (esp when use soymilk is +$1), but latte/mocha sizes huge. Long wait on w/e, but parties of 2 move pretty fast.
My wife and I LOVE this place. We love the food of course, but also love how they value their employees.- Always busy brunch spot, but worth the wait. The gingerbread pancakes & French Toast Tahiti are awesome.
What can I say that hasn't already been said. There's reason why it's on so many brunch lists but miss the dinner either. Might be their best kept secret.
Bay McLaughlinSeptember 2, 2012What more can be said!? Zazie is amazing. Period. French onion soup, their wine selection, whatever special they are running... Are to die for.
Beck ParkNovember 13, 2010come early for brunch! even at 850am there was a group of people forming a queue. gingerbread pancakes are nice and light, fluffy with just enough flavor. the pear sauce is a wonderful pairing.
Cody HardAugust 14, 2014Currently my favorite brunch place in the city. Back patio is outstanding. Gingerbread pancakes are to die for.
Tim PursellApril 8, 2013Place is always packed out on weekends but I've walked right in for breakfast/brunch any day weekdays without a wait and with minimal baby carriage crowding.
Ryan SandefurJune 12, 2015Absolutely delicious hole in the wall with an incredible back outdoor seating area. Breakfast is slammin good!
FoodspottingDecember 12, 2010One of Fiona’s favorite brunch spots, Zazie is known for their perfect Hollandaise sauce and to-die-for potatoes. The potatoes are fried with whole cloves of garlic! Yum.
amanda brookeSeptember 12, 2017pancakes are bomb, genevieve scrambled is amazing too. build your own mimosa if you're into that
Adam K.March 3, 2015Top notch brunch! Try the miracle pancakes for sure. Huge selection of mimosa like drinks.- Taylor LeeJuly 10, 2018Try the brunch menu and order the French Toast Tahiti, but go here on a weekday to avoid long weekend lines.
Kris Vera-PhillipsApril 24, 2013Try the Cassoulet - #kvpinmybelly : Bistro heaven in #SF with duck leg, sausages, white beans and bread chunks. YUMMY!
ValerieMay 23, 2016Wonderful service and great breakfast. Seats outside are first come first serve if you're starving!
Amazing burger, but get it with cheddar and bacon. Also the hot rolls to die for!
Mark MunroSeptember 6, 2017Always go for the Benedict and get there early to beat the lines. First seating ideal.
Matthew KirschDecember 27, 2013Very good food and fast service, a bit of a wait for a table but that's just the nature of small restaurants
Daniel ChelliahApril 28, 2018Simply amazing. Had the scrambled eggs with bacon and the signature Le Metro brunch spirit.
ThreedukesNovember 8, 2015Everything is good. Seriously - eaten here a dozen times, haven't had a bad thing yet.
Scott VernonSeptember 2, 2017Amazing place for breakfast. Try the divorcee. Strange name for a breakfast but delicious!
Maya ShanmugamJune 11, 2016Go for the Un Deux Trois, sub a Gingerbread pancake and get a side of homefries for the table
Pro tip: The four tables out in front are not regulated through the wait list. Be fast, be aggressive! ;)
ClandestineDrinkerAugust 14, 2019Expect long lines but the food is well worth the wait. If you want to eat right away wait for a spot out front.
