Sun Dec 16 16:35:07 -0800 2007 102382 james09 1 3213593 Do you have a $$$ target in mind? under $30, under $50, under $100? Sun Dec 16 16:57:31 -0800 2007 3213529 23776 DavidT 2 3213915 Best bargain - Baker Street Bistro $14.50 Sun Dec 16 18:50:42 -0800 2007 3213593 23776 DavidT 1 3213694 Please clarify not only price point, but intent. When you say prix fixe are you looking for a bargain three-four course set meal, or are you looking for a swank ten+ course tasting menu? Sun Dec 16 17:43:11 -0800 2007 3213529 17723 lexdevil 1 3213818 Not to mention cuisine, for that matter. Sun Dec 16 18:20:40 -0800 2007 3213529 80141 ccbweb 1 3213855 Best value. Prefer three-four course meal. No preference on cuisine. Sun Dec 16 18:28:54 -0800 2007 3213529 102382 james09 2 3213869 Tuesday night prix fixe at Canteen - $36. No choices but the food is wonderful! Sun Dec 16 18:32:47 -0800 2007 3213855 73886 meggie t 2 3213875 Chapeau! 1550 Hyde Le P'tit Laurent has a M-Th early bird that's also a fine deal; fewer choices than above. These are all bistros under $35. At the high end, I had a superb dinner for my birthday at La Folie (although other reports have been mixed). They have similar pricing to Gary Danko--any three courses for so many dollars ($70, I think), four for $80, etc. Sun Dec 16 18:34:11 -0800 2007 3213855 10966 Windy 2 3216291 Sunday thru Thursday 6 - 8 pm: Bistro Aix (Steiner at Chestnut) 3-course $20 2223 Market, has $12 Tuesdays.

Prix Fix Menu Sun.- Thurs.; Any Appetizer, Entrée and Dessert $35 Per Person Indigo- on McAllister- they do a prix fixe with more of a wine focus, might be why I like it so much. The food is very good similar to Firefly California/American/Met simple classic comforting and fresh and you can explore different wines with each dish. They have some excellent desserts as well. http://www.indigorestaurant.com/specials.html Sun Dec 16 19:01:07 -0800 2007 3213905 52212 Lori SF 1 3213924 Chez Panisse Monday dinner. $55 p/person. Sun Dec 16 18:55:22 -0800 2007 3213529 27275 ML8000 2 3213935 that I did not know good deal. Sun Dec 16 19:02:14 -0800 2007 3213924 52212 Lori SF 1 3213940 have had a few good meals here http://lecharm.com/prixfixemenu.php Sun Dec 16 19:06:22 -0800 2007 3213529 17116 kc72 1 3214058 I was reading a similar thread on the Manhatten board, and it turns out some of the super high end places have some amazing prix fixe lunch deals... any in SF? Sun Dec 16 20:00:04 -0800 2007 3213529 104285 sfbecky 2 3214064 they will during this... http://www.onlyinsanfrancisco.com/dineabouttown/ Sun Dec 16 20:06:14 -0800 2007 3214058 17116 kc72 2 3214253 None of the most commonly discussed super high end places (Gary Danko, Michael Mina, La Folie, Dining Room at the Ritz) even serve lunch. Boulevard does, but I don't know if people put Boulevard in that category, Also, none of them participates in Dine About Town (although I've noticed that top restaurant participation in DAT in NYC has dropped off as well). It's really a shame... the only way I was able to afford four-stars in NYC when I was a student there was through their prix-fixe lunches, and I assumed that SF would have similar deals, but when I did the research, I found nothing. Sun Dec 16 21:53:11 -0800 2007 3214058 44059 daveena 3 3214297 Years ago I had lunch at Lutece with the summer special hordes. I can't imagine it was anything like a proper meal there, and it didn't entice me to return. We did better at Campton Place two years ago. But honestly, La Folie and the Ritz are doing you a favor by not bringing in a second rate chef for lunch that still costs $40 by the time you're done. As you've noted, the high-end SF restaurants like One Market that do offer lunch cater to business people. A number of additional places are open for weekday lunch through New Year's: Bix and Scott Howard come to mind. Sun Dec 16 22:27:25 -0800 2007 3214253 10966 Windy 4 3217482 I had the late prix fixe at Scott Howard last month; both my dining companion and I were very pleased with the value, creativity, and quality of the meal. The prix fixe is offered daily from 5:30 until 6:15, and 9:30 until 10:00. You can select any 3 items for $32.00 per person. I liked being able to opt for any 3 choices from any part of the menu. http://www.scotthowardsf.com Mon Dec 17 22:15:20 -0800 2007 3214297 12836 Candice 1 3216573 Early bird (5:00 to 7:00) at Clementine. Three courses for $25.00 - amazing. Mon Dec 17 16:12:38 -0800 2007 3213529 16933 Carrie 218 2 3231382 Prix Fix in the FiDi area (only on Fri and Sat nights)... One Market Restaurant. Approx. $36.95 for 3 courses. For a white tablecloth dinner. Try a place that got a recent One Michelin Star. Sat Dec 22 15:37:39 -0800 2007 3216573 81896 boomer13
