Brenda’s French Soul Food

The brunch against which all other San Francisco brunches are measured is here at Brenda's French Soul Food. And you're smart enough to come on a weekday, when the line isn't four chalkboard columns long. Take a seat in the charming, upscale southern diner and immediately order a flight of their four plate-sized beignets (plain, chocolate, apple and crawfish). From there, it's up to you. We just wanted to make sure you started things right.
