- Francisco Granados GomezOctober 23, 2016Custard French Toast is really amazing. Half of it is good for 1 person, if you order sides it's better to share. The full size is 2 slices for 4 people. The mocha is good. Gwen it's really kind!
- BommyFebruary 11, 2015Searched high & low and nopa still has the best burger and fries in sf. Request medium-rare and cheddar cheese. Smoked trout bagel and half order of custard french toast is the perfect brunch.
- Hailey TarletonApril 15, 2016Amazing atmosphere. Awesome drinks. Even better food! My boyfriend and I shared the burger & the pork chop per recommendations from Foursquare -- Wow! Friend's ummy veg fish also pictured!
- Wilson Favre-DelerueMay 12, 2017That burger (📷), and that pork chop, and all the small plates (anchovies, asparagus salad, lamb bucatini), were all superb. Add to that an impeccable wine list and fine service for top marks!
- Brian StraussMarch 29, 2022Outstanding. No longer open super late but this modern bar and grill fires on all cylinders — outstanding service, generous portions of modern American food, and great cocktails. Fried chicken ftw!
- Maria RiabtchenkoFebruary 10, 2019Time and time again I go back for the pork chop - an absolute must, as well a their chicory salad (winter seasons), lamb tartare, and look no further than a side of charred broccoli.
- MarcJanuary 4, 2016Eater "21 Essential Hamburgers of America" '15: Grass-fed beef patty grilled over an almond-wood fire makes it deliciously fragrant and smoky. Suggests diners add "smattering" of blue cheese on top
- Cole KennedyOctober 28, 2018A spectacular meal, worth every minute you wait (go across the street to Namu or the Ethiopian place). The pacing was perfect and sitting at the chef’s counter is a joy. Oh, and get the pappardelle.
- Shruthi GowdaMarch 21, 2017Love the ambience. The place is very hygienic, staff care a lot about how the food is plated and served. Limited veggie options! I liked their crunchy avocado toast.
- Josh LaboveAugust 12, 2014A solid neighborhood restaurant turning out tasty cocktails and delicious, hearty plates, the star is the pork chop. Sit by the kitchen and watch them fire hundreds in an evening, all to perfection.
- herm pugayMarch 18, 2015From the drinks such as the aristocrat and Jetsetter to the food, pasta and rabbit dish. The avocado flatbread..It's a gourmets delight! A very popular place with a long wait list. Reserve in advance
- EaterApril 18, 2013Grassfed beef on a brioche bun, with optional cheese. (You want the cheese.) Eater SF editor Allie Pape says, "Nopa is my favorite white-napkin burger by a mile." Bonus? It's served til 1:00AM.
- BommyApril 9, 2016For vegetarians, the moroccan vegetable tagine is flavorful, hearty, and filling. Thumbs up!
- BommyFebruary 1, 2016If biscuits are on the brunch menu, get them! Recommend getting a 1/2 order of french toast as it's huge and almost nauseatingly custardy. Promise you'll feel better post-meal.
- Matt GalliganOctober 16, 2016Just about everything here is great, but the burger and pork chop are outstanding. They've also got a phenomenal wine list so be sure to ask for a pairing.
- Serious EatsApril 21, 2014Fantastic pork chops, stellar burgers, and a brilliant wine list and cocktail menu. Sit at the chef's counter and watch the magic happen.
- CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014The wine list is impeccable and the menu’s range of flavors is outstanding. We loved the Brussels with Tasso Ham, Wood Baked Butter Beans, and the Moroccan Vegetable Tagine.
- AFAR MediaAugust 12, 2014I love this custard French toast at Nopa. Everything else on the brunch menu, even the buttery and light soft baked eggs, should be eaten before the French toast because there's no comparison. Read more
- #1 brunch, hands down. Custard French toast is gooey perfection. Savory egg dishes, like with sausage, rock. Sit upstairs for optimal people watching.
- Chris H.April 23, 2016The burger is outstanding and the fries are just as good, but my favorite dish is still the housemade pappardelle.
- Kevin SkobacFebruary 18, 2017One of our favorite meals ever. Fusilli with Olive Oil Poached Yellowtail, Pappardelle with Nine Hour Bolonese, Porkchop with Horseradish Cream, and Huckleberry Buttermilk Panna Cotta were to die for.
- Brian StraussFebruary 19, 2020Just about any restaurant open until 1am in SF should get an award, but this place offers stellar modern Italian and American fare at a late hour. Little Fried Fish were the perfect alcohol sponge.
- Don't skip on dinner: fantastic brisket and burger, with great vibes and drinks.
- Adena BrenowitzNovember 16, 2018Dinner was so delicious. Great wines! The menu is seasonal which highlights fresh in season produce. Everything is great can’t go wrong with anything you try! Make a reservation far is advance!
- StephanySeptember 9, 2018Sounds boring but the burger is what you need to get. You won’t be disappointed. You can jazz up your meal with goat cheese and fresh strawberry crostini, but get the burger.
- Stavria K.June 7, 2018Burger, freshly cut salad and gin. Gin Gin and again Gin. Everything is freshly made, you get it from the beginning when you see the chefs trying their masterpieces. Worth a visit.
- If you get the burger, get it medium rare. Comes out perfectly crusted with a bit of pink. Delicious!
- ᴡ ElliotOctober 4, 2015The flatbread, the Pinot Noir, the baked beans are all excellent. The vegetable tagine was slightly overcooked, the avocado toast was a bit mushy. Go early and hover around the communal table
- Adrian PhillipsApril 1, 2016Very very boozy cocktails and an excellent burger (cheddar, medium rare is my usual choice). If you're looking for a seat at the bar or open tables, be ruthless. Plenty of assholes will sneak in.
- Chefs FeedDecember 3, 2015"The soups at Nopa change all the time but are always perfect. I once heard that they are Laurence's special, personal project and he devotes a lot of energy to them." Chef Caitlin Freeman Read more
- Adnan ManjalJuly 10, 2016Amazing food. Their eggs, French toast, coffee, burger, all is good. Can't go wrong here. Great lively ambience. Service staff is great. Recommend going later in the day to avoid long waiting.
- 🐐 🐙July 19, 2016Jesus every damn thing on this menu is amazing. Of course get the pork chop. Then try as many small dishes as possible. So good!
- Arthur LeeAugust 6, 2015Everything is good, except for the wait. Try the goat cheese with berries - works pretty well!
- Allie RFebruary 4, 2017Had the burger and spaghetti, delicious! Walked in around 10pm on a Thursday and got seated at the chef's bar right away without a reservation. Fun place to sit and watch the chefs
- Jane RadstromMarch 19, 2016Expect perfect execution. 8 staple entrees, but flavor and sides change with what's fresh at the market. The small plates are usually more bold and inventive flavors, 2-3 of those also make a meal.
- Frances JamesDecember 1, 2014The big sister restaurant of Nopalito- more upscale, just as delicious. Brunch is great. Reservations are tough - walk in if you're okay with a bar seat/communal table, or go at an odd hour.
- Everything is delicious here. Make a reservation a month in advance if you want to eat at an American supper time. If you're ok with eating at 11pm or midnight, then walk in instead.
- Good for dinner, amazing for brunch. Go with the butter basted eggs, biscuit, and French toast, wash it down with a Blur!
- 10+ years of flawlessness. Freshest seasonal produce, best quality service, best burger in town, best bartenders, best windows. If you're willing to wait, you'll be rewarded. 💯
- Amazing amazing amazing! Every dish was wonderful. The service was excellent. The prices are even reasonable, it's just the drinks where it starts piling on. Worth it though. AND OMG THE SOPAIPILLAS!
- Robin FenchelJuly 12, 2013This place is always buzzing and busy. Make reservations way in advance or plan on waiting for at least two hours. Definitely with the wait though! I love their seasonal salads & their pork chop. Num!
- Try the Moroccan vegetable Tagine, flatbread &baked polenta. We wouldn't leave until we finished the last bite! Food is phenomenal. Wine list as well; get a bottle of Littorai Pinot. Worth every penny
- Jazz AboySeptember 20, 2013Delicious grass fed burger! The Haiku cocktail is great too (although a slightly small). Must make reservation unless you want to wait for an hour to be seated or to hunt seats around the bar.
