For a brief time in the 1850’s, South Park, a neighborhood south of Market Street, was a ritzy address in the rapidly growing city. Taking park developments in London as his model, an Englishman built a series of residential town houses around a grassy common. In the 1980s, lured by cheap rents, architects and designers discovered the charms of South Park, and restaurateurs were close behind. The area evoked the parks in French Villages. South Park Cafe itself, which seems like a slice of small-town France, set the Gallic flavor. In the last 20 years this unpretentious cafe with a serious kitchen has matured into one of the best little French restaurants in San Francisco.
