Bistro Boudin Restaurant Review: The owners of San Francisco's longest continuously operating business, Boudin Bakery, have a flagship store on the Wharf that features a 5,000-square-foot demonstration bakery and a sourdough bread museum that takes visitors on a journey through San Francisco history through the eyes of bakers. Scale the dramatic staircase to Bistro Boudin, a sleek, modern restaurant and bar that aims to deliver a higher-end Wharf experience to tourists and locals alike. Gaze at Alcatraz as you start with a generous Caesar salad with buttery Boudin sourdough croutons, a classic crab Louie with deviled eggs and avocado, or a stone hearth sourdough crust pizza of sweet fennel sausage, roasted peppers and balsamic onions. For main courses, the shell pasta with Dungeness crab in a light lemon cream sauce is satisfying, as are the crispy Anchor Steam battered fish 'n' chips. The bread also stars as a toasted focaccia bun cradling a luscious half-pound burger---we order ours rare and top it with aged cheddar for some extra zip.
