"Not only is Zazie dog-friendly, it’s also a hub for Cole Valley families—parents hunker down with some wine and the kids can run loose on the patio. The French restaurant has a spacious back area that easily accommodates high chairs, strollers, and your kid who finally learned how to wear shoes after a meltdown or five. If you’re here for dinner, we like the seafood stew and charcuterie (or plain burgers for some), but at brunch, it’s all about the home fries." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
