Chouquet’s

Specialties

Created to be a comfortable and inviting space whether day or night, Chouquet’s strives to provide its guests with memories of excellent food and service in an unpretentious, yet stylish and contemporary setting.

Besides our lunch, brunch, dinner, and dessert selections, we have over 15 wines by the glass (including champagne) and over 70 wines with special emphasis on excellent value, smaller vineyard wines from the Pacific Northwest, Oceania, South America, and Europe. In addition, we serve our favorite beers on tap: «1664» from France, Sierra Nevada from California, and a «Guest» beer that changes periodically.

History

Established in 2004.

Chouquet’s was not designed to be the next hip and trendy restaurant. It was not designed to be an ode to a country and its cuisine. It was created to provide three elements of what we consider a memorable meal out.

First, our kitchen focuses on a balance of new and familiar tastes served up in lighter dishes that allow our diners to settle into the comfort of what they expected, yet experience something new at the same time.

Second, our service staff is devoted and dedicated to your enjoyment of your meal while in our care. We are here to minimize the «fuss» and want you to enjoy our food through attentive, professional, and unpretentious service.

Third, our dining room and outside patio were designed to complement and not take center stage to your meal. With twenty-​four tables surrounded by expansive windows, cream walls and burnt orange features, the dining room is crisp; yet it provides a warm atmosphere to share food and company with a party of two or forty.

Meet the Business Owner

Michael A.

Business Owner

Having moved to the United States in 1994, Mickael later ended up in the Bay Area to finish his degree in finance. While in school, he decided to test the business plan he had created for his coursework that detailed the launch of a crêpe shop. Crêpe Express on Haight was born in 1998 even before he graduated.

After six successful years, Mickael was contemplating how to expand the business when he decided to go into another direction. With this change, Chouquet’s was born as a neighborhood bistro where Pacific Heights locals and visitors alike can come and enjoy some of his favorite foods from home.
