About

The Castro's L'Ardoise Bistro sits on a shaded block of Noe, just off Market — a charming spot you'd be thrilled to find. The menu is written on chalkboards, echoing Parisian cafes (the name means "chalkboard" in French). It's cozy and convivial, with French favorites and a wine bar vibe. Prices are moderate for the quality, and you won't blink at them.

Open for dinner only, Tue-Sun evenings. It's popular, so reservations are wise. If you're craving dessert after, Bi-Rite Creamery is a nearby favorite.
