All the Food That Makes San Francisco Feel Like Home | Eater SF

"“If I’m feeling more fancy and get a whiff of Zuni’s wood-fired oven on Market Street, then I grab a friend and beeline it for a roast chicken and espresso granita.”" - Garrett Schlichte

The 8 Best Restaurants In Civic Center - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"We have this Californian restaurant to thank for an iconic roast chicken, and equally as famous caesar salad and focaccia burger. Open since 1979, this place still has a lot of charm, including white tablecloths and a big brick wood-burning oven (for that chicken) visible from the dining room. It’s an SF classic that still packs every table nightly—and one everyone should experience at least once." - julia chen 1, patrick wong

The 17 Best Classic San Francisco Restaurants | Eater SF

"Zuni Cafe began in 1979 as a Southwestern-themed restaurant, but became a Cal-cuisine icon under the leadership of the late Judy Rodgers, who entered its kitchen in 1987. She built Zuni’s reputation with her burgers, Caesar salad, bloody Marys, and of course, the famous roast chicken for two with bread salad. It’s still one of the city’s most beautiful and delightful rooms to while away an afternoon." - Paolo Bicchieri

The 16 Best Burgers In San Francisco - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The burger at Zuni (only available at lunch) comes with pickled onions, aioli, lettuce, and sweet housemade pickles on rosemary focaccia. Left alone, this burger is already so good that we don’t even think of it as a burger as much as the answer to the meaning of life—but if you add cheddar cheese and heirloom tomato (available seasonally), it’s somehow even better. Also, make sure to order extra aioli for dipping the haybale side of fries into." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong

"Zuni has been at it for more than forty years, and locals and visitors remain drawn to this San Francisco institution. Famous for its laid-back California vibe and great, locally sourced eats, this iconic space embraces its unique shape, and is styled with bold artwork-covered walls, a copper bar and wood-burning oven sending out delightful pizzas that fill the room with mouthwatering aromas.Given its ace location, Zuni makes for a divine lunch destination—and proof is in the many business folk, trendy ladies-who-lunch and tourists who fill its tables midday. Menu treasures include Caesar salad and oysters to start, plus chicken for two roasted in the wood-fired brick oven." - Michelin Inspector
