Welcome to Grand Cafe

The Grand Café serves up a unique blend of contemporary French panache and freewheeling Bay Area spirit. Located in the heart of San Francisco's Theater District, we feature lively brasserie-style dining in a beautifully restored Art Deco dining room—one of the few remaining ballrooms that survived the earthquake of 1906.

We are a hometown destination for hungry Union Square shoppers during the day and theatergoers at night. And, of course, people from around the world visit us for an authentic San Francisco experience, from our locally-sourced ingredients to our opulent environment.

France of today meets San Francisco's gilded past. Swing by and experience the best of both worlds.
