Great Brunch and lovely atmosphere. You will need to wait for half an hour depending on what time of the day you go. The Portion is quite generous. I ordered only one pancake, but it was good for two to share as it is quite thick. There is no tip, but the price is slightly on a higher side. Good quality brunch. I really liked the salsa in the egg Benedict and the home fry was very good with well roasted sweet garlics.

Loved this place, feels like I'm in France every time. We enjoyed the special pancakes. Today's special pancakes where called the Miracle Pancakes (made with sour cream and poppy seeds). So good! The Crab Eggs Benedict had a good portion of fresh crab. Cannes scrambled eggs were flavorful. The Chicken apple sausage are delicious. Seating in the back patio. They have overhead heaters to keep you warm on a chilly day. Service was outstanding!!! I would recommend a reservation on the weekend.

Zazie is hands down one of our Top 5 favorite restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area, and every visit reminds me exactly why. As someone who’s a big, big meat eater, I rarely go for a meatless option—but the lemon ricotta ravioli here is in a league of its own. Bright, creamy, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, it’s one of the very few vegetarian dishes that leaves me totally satisfied without even thinking about meat. That says a lot. Of course, when I do indulge my carnivorous side, the pork chop is absolutely divine—so tender it practically falls apart, and paired with buttery potatoes and the dreamiest mac and cheese. Rich, hearty, comforting. It’s the kind of dish you crave long after the meal is over. The escargot deserves a special shoutout—it instantly transports me back to Paris. Delicately prepared, garlicky, and served with that unmistakable French flair. It’s the real deal. And please, whatever you do, don’t skip dessert. The Chaud is an experience. Warm, gooey chocolate topped with toasted marshmallows—it’s like being wrapped in a hug that somehow takes you straight to Brussels. Yum, yum, YUM! Zazie isn’t just a meal—it’s a mood, a memory, and a masterpiece every time. Whether you’re a die-hard meat lover or looking for something refined and soulful, this place delivers.
