One of our favorite restaurants.. Chapeau! is a French Bistro located in the San Francisco Richmond district in the middle of the Clement Street shopping district. At one time, they had two locations, but later wisely consolidated into this one location. Chapeau! opened in 1996 and means hat or wow in French. Chef Philippe Gardelle and his wife run this restaurant and are often times seen warmly greeting guests. Chapeau!  specialize in value oriented French Bistro cuisine. You can get 3 course meal for $38 or 4 courses for $46. Save even more with early bird specials at $29.50, Mon – Thursday 5-6pm. Some items do require an up charge. This review is a culmination of many visits over the years, the last of which was in October 2011. Read the rest of this entry »
