Custard French Toast is really amazing. Half of it is good for 1 person, if you order sides it's better to share. The full size is 2 slices for 4 people. The mocha is good. Gwen it's really kind!

Bommy

Searched high & low and nopa still has the best burger and fries in sf. Request medium-rare and cheddar cheese . Smoked trout bagel and half order of custard french toast is the perfect brunch .

Hailey Tarleton

Amazing atmosphere. Awesome drinks. Even better food! My boyfriend and I shared the burger & the pork chop per recommendations from Foursquare -- Wow! Friend's ummy veg fish also pictured!

Wilson Favre-Delerue

That burger (????), and that pork chop , and all the small plates (anchovies , asparagus salad , lamb bucatini ), were all superb. Add to that an impeccable wine list and fine service for top marks!

Maria Riabtchenko

Time and time again I go back for the pork chop - an absolute must, as well a their chicory salad (winter seasons ), lamb tartare , and look no further than a side of charred broccoli .

Brian Strauss

Outstanding. No longer open super late but this modern bar and grill fires on all cylinders — outstanding service , generous portions of modern American food , and great cocktails . Fried chicken ftw!

Marc

Eater "21 Essential Hamburgers of America" '15: Grass-fed beef patty grilled over an almond-wood fire makes it deliciously fragrant and smoky. Suggests diners add "smattering" of blue cheese on top

Cole Kennedy

A spectacular meal, worth every minute you wait (go across the street to Namu or the Ethiopian place). The pacing was perfect and sitting at the chef’s counter is a joy. Oh, and get the pappardelle .

Shruthi Gowda

Love the ambience. The place is very hygienic, staff care a lot about how the food is plated and served. Limited veggie options ! I liked their crunchy avocado toast .

Josh Labove

A solid neighborhood restaurant turning out tasty cocktails and delicious, hearty plates, the star is the pork chop . Sit by the kitchen and watch them fire hundreds in an evening, all to perfection.

herm pugay

From the drinks such as the aristocrat and Jetsetter to the food, pasta and rabbit dish. The avocado flatbread ..It's a gourmets delight! A very popular place with a long wait list. Reserve in advance

Eater

Grassfed beef on a brioche bun , with optional cheese . (You want the cheese .) Eater SF editor Allie Pape says, "Nopa is my favorite white-napkin burger by a mile." Bonus? It's served til 1:00AM.

Bommy

For vegetarians , the moroccan vegetable tagine is flavorful, hearty, and filling. Thumbs up!

Serious Eats

Fantastic pork chops , stellar burgers , and a brilliant wine list and cocktail menu . Sit at the chef 's counter and watch the magic happen.

Noah Weiss

#1 brunch , hands down. Custard French toast is gooey perfection. Savory egg dishes , like with sausage , rock. Sit upstairs for optimal people watching .

CITY GRIT

The wine list is impeccable and the menu’s range of flavors is outstanding. We loved the Brussels with Tasso Ham , Wood Baked Butter Beans , and the Moroccan Vegetable Tagine .

Kevin Skobac

One of our favorite meals ever. Fusilli with Olive Oil Poached Yellowtail , Pappardelle with Nine Hour Bolonese, Porkchop with Horseradish Cream, and Huckleberry Buttermilk Panna Cotta were to die for.

SFGate

The grill under the rotisserie can take credit for producing one of the best pork chops around: Almond wood accentuates the chop's sweetness, and it's served with braised greens and flageolets. Read more

AFAR Media

I love this custard French toast at Nopa. Everything else on the brunch menu , even the buttery and light soft baked eggs , should be eaten before the French toast because there's no comparison. Read more

Mari

The best pork chop I've ever had. Solid burger as well .

Brian Strauss

Just about any restaurant open until 1am in SF should get an award, but this place offers stellar modern Italian and American fare at a late hour. Little Fried Fish were the perfect alcohol sponge.

SFist

The place is stupidly packed 7 days a week. Everything's pretty great, from the baked eggs to the fried pickles to the butter-basted eggs with ham and cream, and of course there's always the burger . Read more

Matt Galligan

Just about everything here is great, but the burger and pork chop are outstanding. They've also got a phenomenal wine list so be sure to ask for a pairing.

Bommy

If biscuits are on the brunch menu , get them! Recommend getting a 1/2 order of french toast as it's huge and almost nauseatingly custardy. Promise you'll feel better post-meal.

Adena Brenowitz

Dinner was so delicious. Great wines ! The menu is seasonal which highlights fresh in season produce . Everything is great can’t go wrong with anything you try! Make a reservation far is advance!

Stavria K.

Burger , freshly cut salad and gin . Gin Gin and again Gin . Everything is freshly made , you get it from the beginning when you see the chefs trying their masterpieces. Worth a visit.

ᴡ Elliot

The flatbread , the Pinot Noir , the baked beans are all excellent. The vegetable tagine was slightly overcooked, the avocado toast was a bit mushy. Go early and hover around the communal table

Chris H.

The burger is outstanding and the fries are just as good, but my favorite dish is still the housemade pappardelle .

Noah Weiss

Don't skip on dinner : fantastic brisket and burger , with great vibes and drinks.

SFGate

The oven turns out a delicious flatbread topped with sausage , broccoli di cicco and red onions . It's cut in irregular pieces and arranged helter-skelter on the plate, looking casual but bountiful. Read more

Adnan Manjal

Amazing food. Their eggs , French toast , coffee , burger , all is good. Can't go wrong here. Great lively ambience. Service staff is great. Recommend going later in the day to avoid long waiting .

Stephany

Sounds boring but the burger is what you need to get. You won’t be disappointed. You can jazz up your meal with goat cheese and fresh strawberry crostini , but get the burger .

Eater

Eight years into its tenure, it remains one of the city 's toughest tickets: book early, try brunch , or go later in the evening for the awesome burger . Read more

Adrian Phillips

Very very boozy cocktails and an excellent burger (cheddar , medium rare is my usual choice). If you're looking for a seat at the bar or open tables, be ruthless. Plenty of assholes will sneak in.

Gregory Chomatas

Great food! The grilled pork chop is delicious as well as the toasted quinoa with smoked trout , hazelnuts and blood orange . It is popular so reserve to avoid waiting or try for the big shared table

Eater

It's an updated take on the Zuni formula, with the success to show. Both neighborhood standby and destination restaurant , Nopa continues to grow admirably under Chef Jossel. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

"The soups at Nopa change all the time but are always perfect. I once heard that they are Laurence's special, personal project and he devotes a lot of energy to them." Chef Caitlin Freeman Read more

Jane Radstrom

Expect perfect execution. 8 staple entrees, but flavor and sides change with what's fresh at the market . The small plates are usually more bold and inventive flavors, 2-3 of those also make a meal.

Roxy K

Try the Moroccan vegetable Tagine , flatbread &baked polenta . We wouldn't leave until we finished the last bite! Food is phenomenal. Wine list as well ; get a bottle of Littorai Pinot . Worth every penny

???? ????

Jesus every damn thing on this menu is amazing. Of course get the pork chop . Then try as many small dishes as possible. So good!

Allie R

Had the burger and spaghetti , delicious! Walked in around 10pm on a Thursday and got seated at the chef 's bar right away without a reservation . Fun place to sit and watch the chefs

Arthur Lee

Everything is good, except for the wait. Try the goat cheese with berries - works pretty well !

Frances James

The big sister restaurant of Nopalito- more upscale , just as delicious. Brunch is great. Reservations are tough - walk in if you're okay with a bar seat/communal table, or go at an odd hour.

Jazz Aboy

Delicious grass fed burger ! The Haiku cocktail is great too (although a slightly small). Must make reservation unless you want to wait for an hour to be seated or to hunt seats around the bar .

Kostas Koukoravas

Had the rabbit legs with dates, preserved lemon and tzatziki and oh my that was absolutely fantastic! Great imaginative composition and flawless execution! You have to try it

Sam Lee

Damn good food. If I had to pick one restaurant to dine at during a trip to SF, this would be it. "Chef's Table " an entertaining touch to the night.

Megan Allison

10+ years of flawlessness. Freshest seasonal produce , best quality service, best burger in town , best bartenders , best windows. If you're willing to wait, you'll be rewarded. ????

CNN

There are many of its kind in this city , but NOPA is San Francisco’s best at serving familiar, hearty and thoughtful versions of what it calls “urban rustic food". Read more

Q Lam

If you get the burger , get it medium rare. Comes out perfectly crusted with a bit of pink. Delicious!

Elynn Lee

They have seriously some of the best french fries I've ever had! The crostini with goat cheese is awesome. The pappardelle is delicious and has a hearty meat sauce.
