Best restaurant in SF/the world! Literally every single thing is incredible here. Try the pork chop! Need to make reservations 1 month in advance.
Cole KennedyOctober 28, 2018
Occasionally they will have a guest chef, and the guest chef will add items to the menu like this absolutely rockin’ bone marrow.

Amazing amazing amazing! Every dish was wonderful. The service was excellent. The prices are even reasonable, it's just the drinks where it starts piling on. Worth it though. AND OMG THE SOPAIPILLAS!

Truly the best burger in SF. Try the smoked trout with quinoa and blue bottle cocktail. Custard french toast and smoked trout bagel are brunch winners.

Called to book a table but was told to just arrive and it would be all good. Our group of seven all arrive 10 mins later by uber and told we have a 2.5 hour wait. I don't imagine it's worth it...next

Get a reservation weeks ahead of time. Fantastic (albeit a little slow) service and delicious food. Avo toast and the pork chop were great.

Everything is delicious here. Make a reservation a month in advance if you want to eat at an American supper time. If you're ok with eating at 11pm or midnight, then walk in instead.

Nope is beautiful, service is super kind and the atmosphere is super fun. Food is good, not everything on the menu is fantastic though. Burger was good, I had better in the city.

This place is my favorite restaurant in SF. Start with the poached duck egg over asparagus. The duck breast medium rare was perfect. End the meal with the sopaipillas!

I highly recommend the grass fed burger (it comes with delicious fries and aioli sauce) along with an order of anything from their cocktail menu! But seriously, everything here is great.

Warm goat cheese and the burger are absolute must!! To die for!! Best place I’ve been to in SF!! Staff, service, food, place... go!

Good for dinner, amazing for brunch. Go with the butter basted eggs, biscuit, and French toast, wash it down with a Blur!
Coralie SabinAugust 23, 2015
I really love their French toast but everything I tried was amazing. Their cookie in a skillet is a must for dessert! Make a reservation if you can.

Burgers for brunch? You'll thank yourself later for going to Nopa and trying their Grass Fed Hamburger with pickled onions and french fries and maybe wash it all down with a Bloody Mary. Read more

The pork chop was excellent. Wood fired anything is excellent. Made a reservation for 1045pm and there was still a line!
Vic ZaudDecember 17, 2014
Pretty much everything. I had the 9-hour Bolognese which was wonderful and sweet. Also loved the turnip soup.
Robin FenchelJuly 12, 2013
This place is always buzzing and busy. Make reservations way in advance or plan on waiting for at least two hours. Definitely with the wait though! I love their seasonal salads & their pork chop. Num!
Mike Ottavi-BrannonAugust 20, 2018
Grab a burger and a cottonmouth from the seasonal Assassin Squad cocktail menu. For an exceptional experience grab a seat at the bar and ask for Justin.

LOVE! Go around 10:15 before they open and stand in line. As everyone is putting their name in sneak a spot at the bar (full service there & no wait)!

Come for brunch! The pan de mie French toast is crazy-good - days old bread is soaked in custard before being seared and topped with oozing roasted strawberries and lemon butter (made in house). Read more

Very nice place. It is separated for two zones - bar and dinning one. Food is very delicious, but, as for me, it is specially good for cocktails.
joahnnaSeptember 27, 2018
Get the goat cheese + pear + blackberries... And the avo toast is quite yummy and different than the usual.
Frances 미라January 12, 2014
Get the burger, and avocado appetizer. Add the avocado to the burger and thank me after. It's a party in your mouth. Mmmm
John YDecember 31, 2012
highly recommended for brunch: biscuit w/ pumpkin butter; custard french toast; goat cheese bread pudding; soft scramble; mezcal bloody mary [dec 2012]
Nicole RocchioNovember 27, 2018
Mushroom toast is incredible, but everything I consumed was tasteful! The pappardelle and autumn squash 👌🏻

Order a Blue Bottle Coffee cocktail. It's delicious! Substitute bourbon for the usual vodka. It's on the dessert menu or brunch menu, but order it anytime!
Nancy WuMarch 24, 2013
Had high expectations for the pork chop and it did not disappoint. Paired well with $9 Touriga red wine. Awesome sopaipillas. Cod was just okay, would come back again to try the hamburger:)
Marcie KowalskiOctober 22, 2013
Food is fantastic. What's not fantastic is the 2 hour wait if you don't have a reservation! The mushroom, broccoli with bacon and poached egg BLEW my mind!

If you like coffee, get the blue bottle coffee martini. It's on the dinner menu, but it's great to order early to enjoy with your meal. Pork chop and sopaipillas are yum!!!
Anna JamesJune 24, 2018
Simple and delicious food. Ordered the smoked trout, butter basted eggs, and French toast.
Jake LewisOctober 29, 2019
The porch chop & chicken are staples. You can't go wrong with these two. Always go for desert it's worth splurging for!

Amazing for brunch! Come grab a seat on the second floor to people watch and look over the kitchen.

Just like everyone says, the custard French toast is absolutely delicious! The Spanish tortilla is a pretty good too.
Fiona StripeJune 5, 2016
Of all the places that boasts good French toast in SF, Nopa must be one of the best, if not THE best! It's incredible.
Cassandra ClarkSeptember 19, 2018
The best restaurant in SF. Order everything on the menu and have no regrets.
Karin BellantoniNovember 28, 2013
NOPA owes its kudos to thoughtful people like Stephanie and our beautiful server Ayele. People make food that make a restaurant special and people create service that make lasting, lifetime memories.
Anthony SextonFebruary 12, 2018
Everything here is awesome!! The burger is delicious (and a menu staple). The pappardelle bolognaise is awesome too.
Eugene LeeSeptember 29, 2013
Avocado tomato salad: 8.25/9, arugula pear date salad: 7.5/9, grilled leg o lamb: 7/8.5, grilled broccoli: 7.5/9
John McBrideOctober 18, 2014
For brunch, don't miss the custard French toast. It's the most delicious and decadent breakfast I've had in recent memory.
KKNovember 12, 2013
Kitchen seats made the whole wait worth it! Everything on the menu was amazing. Had to come back for the dessert we couldn't fit the first time.
Emily KaneJanuary 5, 2016
Creative and delicious dishes, but be prepared to wait an absurd amount of time at any hour of any day.
Lauren CantorDecember 29, 2015
Got the Brussels sprouts, kale salad, targine, and the most amazing chocolate tart
Nitzan BSeptember 9, 2019
Excellent food, place was packed for Sunday so make a reservation for the weekend. Get the French toast!
AnthonyAugust 19, 2015
Really enjoyed the flatbread and the salmon, but who knows if that will be on the menu when you go, it changes often!

The poached egg, collard greens, and ham dinner appetizer is fantastic. It's like breakfast for anytime. Wow. Noms.
JonJuly 26, 2014
Ham with poached eggs and tomatoes was absolutely phenomenal - those tomatoes are absolutely packed with flavour.
Bridget GaelAugust 14, 2022
Nice cocktails and wine list. I liked the summer squash best. Other big American classics were fine (fried chicken, paparadelle)
BourbonautJune 13, 2018
I love this place. Great food and cocktails. And open late! A great place to go after the bars close.

Pork chop--the best pork you'll have ever tasted!! Burger--soo juicy! Fried sardines--get two orders! Fried brussels sprouts w lemon--wow. Dessert: hands down the sopaipillas with caramel sauce.
