Craving Lamb Shank, in town 2 nights

[heychrisa]

Years ago while on a business trip to SF (from Seattle) I stumbled into a bar (attached to a restaurant) near Union Square with a fabulous wine list and had the Best Lamb Shank Of My Life. It was on a bed of de Puy lentils, crispy, tender, oh my mouth is watering now!

where should I go to try and relive this experience? Not too expensive please.

I will be in SF 2 nights and other places on the top of my short list are Nopa, Bar Tartine, and Yuet Lee (ate there years ago and loved it!).
thanks!

Kokkari does a wonderful braised shank, if $28 is within your range.

I think Zare at Flytrap has lamb shanks.

That reminds me, Maykadeh makes a fantastic braised lamb shank dish with eggplant, tomato, saffron, and dried lime.

Mezze on Lakeshore Ave in Oakland has a delicious Moroccan Lamb Shank Tajine, but may not be the most accessible without a car

Lamb shank's the kind of rustic French dish that South Park Cafe does well.

*Aziza, for a slightly sweet Cal/Morrocan version.
*Tommy's Joynt for a super cheap yet still very tasty version (Thurdays only).
