Bizou is a bistro, but not a French one. If I had to choose, I’d say it’s Mediterranean, but you will find French, Californian, Italian, and Spanish influences. Bizou is constantly exploring interesting tastes and textures using classic technique. It has been in SoMa for ten years, and a good part of the professional and friendly staff has been there almost the entire time. The menu changes constantly -- reflecting seasonal produce. I tend to think of Bizou as a small scale San Francisco version of Chez Panisse. I often prefer the appetizers to the entrees, but you can't go wrong here. Highly recommended.
