Plouf Review
Read our San Francisco restaurant reviews. Or post your own.
Plouf
$$$, French, Financial District
Fodor's Review:
Plouf. Plouf is a gold mine for mussel and clam lovers, with seven preparations to choose from. Among the best are marinière (white wine, garlic, and parsley) and one combining coconut milk, lime juice, and chili. Add a side of the skinny fries and that's all most appetites need. The menu changes seasonally and includes roast lamb and steak to satisfy any unrepentant carnivores. Many of the appetizers -- oysters on the half shell, tuna tartare -- stick to seafood, as well. The tables are squeezed together in the bright, lively dining room, so you might share in neighboring conversations. On temperate days and nights, try for one of the outdoor tables.

The Hotel (Le Meridian) had suggested Plouf as a casual option since our luggage did not make it to SF until 10:00 PM. We went early (6:00) and had the place to ourselves. Belden St. is a row of dining options sat in pretty close quarters. If this bothers you, go elsewhere. The food and service were good. The Halibut my wife had was very good. The pork tenderloin I chose was a little over cooked, but good flavor. The wine selection (by the bottle) is slightly higher than some better establishments.why pay top dollar for nausea & indifferent service?

i wanted to like them. i live in sf. the restaurant has a clean bill from the sf health dept... but too bad there is no muni service to rate indifference and arrogance of owners and staff! food poisoning can happen at any restaurant. but when the manager and owner DON'T CARE that patrons get sick from bad mussels, you have an indication of their way of doing business. go to jack's on the corner. enjoy the tradition. show up when they open for lunch, stand in line. GREAT fresh fish in an impeccable restaurant!
