surprised no one posted this article, photo of the food looks tasty. They

sometimes have more photos on the actual newspaper article than the article

online.

An interesting thing about fine dining in SF, many of the more upscale

restaurants will cook incredible vegan food if you ask, even if they

have nothing on the menu. Many chefs love the challenge of coming up

with something, and often will pull something amazing out of thin air

using the fresh ingredients they have on hand. Foreign Cinema does

this particularly well. I've been there twice (once for brunch and a

second time for dinner), and on both occasions I had meals that left

the meat eaters jealous.

 

So my suggestion, if you're looking for fine dining in SF in a mixed

diet situation, call ahead and ask if they can accommodate vegans, and

ask what kind of things they might make for you. Many restaurants will

sneer at the suggestion or have no idea what to do, but many will pull

out the stops and cook something creative and delicious.
