Zuni Cafe

Zuni Café, founded in 1979, is a celebrated San Francisco restaurant known for its rustic yet cosmopolitan cuisine. Initially inspired by Mexican and southwestern flavors, Zuni’s menu evolved under chef Judy Rodgers to embrace Eurocentric and adventurous dishes. The addition of a wood-fired brick oven led to signature dishes like roast chicken and vegetable gratins. Judy’s influence garnered national acclaim, culminating in awards and a cookbook. Today, with Gilbert Pilgram as chef-owner, Zuni remains committed to honest, local, and seasonal food, offering a constantly changing menu of expertly crafted dishes in a warm and convivial atmosphere.
