When I mentioned my delicious find to a friend who lived in the Mission District after getting home, he said he had an even better place to show me. The next morning found us sitting in Bar Tartine, sister restaurant to the famous Tartine Bakery in the Mission. Tartine Bakery prides itself on decadent, amazing pastries and fresh bread made daily, and being the winner of a James Beard award for Best Pastry Chef, while Bar Tartine served up some amazingly simple but delicious Californian cuisine for the neighborhood urbanites. The country French toast with berry compote was absolutely delicious, made with fresh bread from their in-house bakery.
My friend ordered an egg white scramble with asparagus and cheese and it looked equally tempting. Bar Tartine is yet another San Francisco eatery that forges strong sustainable relationships with the local farms, which ensures a constant supply of the highest quality and freshest selections of meat, fish and vegetables for our dining pleasure. Between the two of my new favorite cafes, I'd have to say the food at Bar Tartine was a little better than Mission Beach Cafe, but the crowd at MBC was much more livelier and youthful and fun.
Bar Tartine is located at 561 Valencia Street in San Francisco, California. 415-487-1600.
