10Best Spanish
Piperade
(Restaurants - Spanish)
1015 Battery St, San Francisco  94111 • 415-391-2555
Distance: ~0.77 mi *
        Description: EMBARCADERO. Warmed by wood detailing and golden-hued lighting, Piperade is as inviting as a friend's home, and its sociability is just as great. Impeccable cuisine is also of enormous appeal. The chef often comes out to chat with guests and share information about food and wine, and his expertise is justified by dishes like braised rabbit, tuna and potato soup, and veal sweetbreads. Marinated lamb chops and steamed snapper are among the large plate offerings; small plates include artisan foie gras and squid, Dungeness crab salad, and garlic soup with rock shrimp and bacon. Desserts are crafted with just as sure a hand, and wines embrace the Basque region, France, Spain and California.

Among the temptations you'll encounter are pan-roasted salmon, rack of lamb, confit of duck leg, steamed mussels, and a Black Angus rib-eye.
