Established in 1993, Anjou Restaurant is a cozy French bistro that has won the hearts of diners and critics alike. Conveniently located in an alley between Union Square and San Francisco's French Quarter, Anjou specializes in delivering upscale French cuisine and atmosphere with a friendly smile and reasonable prices. Join Chef Pierre Morin and staff today for an experience that combines the best of both New and Old worlds for a dining experience that is truly unique.

Situated in the downtown Financial District, Anjou is the perfect place for a lunchtime break, a dinner before the theater, or the ideal place to wrap up a day's sightseeing. Anjou's Lunch Express menu and early dinner hours are specifically designed with the downtown restaurant patron in mind. Restaurant reviewers from Cond'e Nast Traveler, Gourmet, Esquire, and the New York Times have praised Anjou for its delicious, flavorful food, charming staff, and cozy atmosphere.

Chef Pierre's menu features a mix of well-known bistro favorites and new dishes which have a French accent, but are less traditional. In addition to Duck Confit and Coulibiac of Salmon, Chef Pierre also offers innovative dishes such as Seafood Cassoulet with Crayfish Sauce and Broiled Chilean Sea Bass Marinated in Whole Grain Mustard. For a satisfying and prompt lunchtime meal, Anjou offers an "Express Menu" of ten different entrees, along with a cup of the Soup of the Day or a Small Mixed Greens Salad for the low price of $16.00. Those familiar with French cuisine will recognize this as similar to the Plat du Jour or Prix Fixe traditions of traditional French bistros.

Anjou features unique dinner specials several times a week. There is also a daily fish special. The main menu changes seasonally, as Chef Pierre is inspired by freshly available meats, poultry, game, and produce. The bistro favorites, such as the Calf Liver with Bacon and Onions, have their devotees and remain on the menu year-round. All desserts at Anjou are house-made, and the menu always includes Chef Pierre's signature dessert, Warm Pears in Cointreau Sabayon.

Lunch is served 11:30 to 2:00pm, Tuesday through Saturday. Dinner is served from 6:00 to 10:00pm.
