Mijoté feels like you’re at a dinner party at a friend’s house. Every dish on the four-course menu at this French restaurant in the Mission is stunning, and if you sit at the bar (the best seats in the house) you’ll get to watch staff finish up scallop appetizers, cut big hunks of sourdough (to sop up all the rich sauces), and pour elderberry jus or harissa butter onto your entrée from across the counter. Sip on a glass of natural wine in the cozy space and plan on making a standing monthly date a routine here—no two meals are ever the same.

The long, gleaming wood bar immediately draws your eye, facing the open kitchen—a promise of the culinary craftsmanship about to unfold. A few two-top tables lines the wall, offering an intimate space for more private conversation. The lighting is soft and welcoming, complementing the organic textures of the decor.

Originally from the Oakland French pop-up Bistro Kosuke, chef Kosuke Tada will now be opening this French bistro in the Mission along with his wife Grace Mitchell Tada in April. On the Paris Michelin Star Chef’s tasting menu will be a seasonally rotating four-course meal, featuring natural and fresh ingredients such as pâté en croûte, yellowtail with a pomelo sabayon, and pork with figs and roasted eggplant. The tasting menu will be about $82, and will be paired with Exclusive French and California wine.

Mijoté is a French restaurant nestled deep in the heart of San Francisco's Mission District. Mijoté was given its name after the French word for 'simmered,' which holds a special place in Chef Kosuke Tada's heart since it was nearly the first French word he learned in culinary school. At this Bay Area-based bistro, farm-fresh Californian ingredients are welcomed into the kitchen by knowledgeable chefs who then utilize the natural bounty of their surroundings to create the ultimate French menu.

The chef is Japanese and the space is a former sushi restaurant, but Mijoté is the closest you’ll come to dining in contemporary Paris. Co-owner Kosuke Tada was the chef at Le 6 Paul Bert, a neo-bistro that’s a darling of the international, natural wine guzzling, cool-kid culinary set. His four-course set menu ($82) changes at least weekly and melds technique with the season’s bounty.
