About Fringale

After a sampling of the full bar, a half-bottle of Dry Creek Fumé Blanc is great with the first course. Try the deeply smoked salmon dressed with fresh young pastis-scented leaves, red onion, cucumber, a lightly vinegary dressing, then move on to a lovely carpaccio of beef w/ capers, lemon, olive oil, chives, and pepper.

Most entree prices hover at the fifteen dollar mark. One of the best of these is the pork tenderloin confit with shredded cabbage, deeply browned apples, and caramelized onions. If you've read any Tom Robbins novels, you're familiar with the mantra, "Yum." This dish is the edible version.

Fringale

Bountiful Basque

By Margaret Meriwether (08/17/2006)

" Hugging the corner on an unassuming street in SOMA, Fringale serves refined Basque fare with little fanfare. Made a foodie haven during the dot-com era by local star Chef Gerald Hirigoyen (Piperade, Bocadillos), the small bistro is now helmed by Parisian-trained Chef Thierry Clement (Le Charm, Elizabeth Daniel, Frisson). Understated delights appeal to the senses, from the silent swing of the front door to the satisfying heft of the knife and the bone-deep contentment at the end of a memorable meal. "
