Cafe Bastille - San Francisco, CA
Monday, September 15th, 2008For a restaurant that tries to be highly traditional French (right down to the over-the-top accents), the F.O.S. was highly non-traditional. The cheese was a blend of provolone, mozzarella, and gruyere, with the provolone being the flavor that stood out. The combination was actually pretty good, with the provolone being able to brown, and the mozarella adding some texture. It would have been better if the gruyere stood out more, though. The broth was not great. Also unusual was the garnish on top, which was chives.
