Hi, I'm looking for the restaurant that make the best creme brulee in San Francisco, South Bay, or the Peninsula. Any recommendations? Thanks!

I haven't done comparisons, but Fringale has a very good one.

I just tried L'Ardoise's creme brulee, and I have to say it was definitely one of the best I have had! Also, B44's crema catalana (creme brulee but Catalonian-style, with a cinnamon flavor) was also excellent in flavor & texture.

Second HSG...instead of using a torch to carmelize the top, they use a branding iron-looking thing that they put in the mesquite grill. It gives the brulee a slightly different/smoky flavor.

Sadly, I have to agree, the cremebruleecart flavors I tried were all ham-handed texture-wise, didn't taste like the ingredients were great, and the sugar on top was not carefully caramelized. Pretty expensive too.

Steve G - My sentiments exactly about the creme brulee cart.

It's not a restaurant, but the best creme brulee in my opinion, can be found at a food stand at Stonestown farmers' market. Sundays 9am-1pm. http://eggcreamheat.com/Organic_Creme... Made by a former chef of Wolfgang Puck, it's super silky. The Grand Marnier is a favorite. The little jars of vanilla flavor are now available at Whole Foods on Potrero Hill.
The creme brulee cart/guy is just a homemade novelty, not a quality product. Not worth the $4 he charges.
