Le Soleil

After a nice Sunday hike/walk at Lands End, we walked to the Inner Richmond for dinner. We stopped for tea at some point and continued on our way until we reached Le Soleil. We didn't really have a place to go in mind so we were open to trying a new restaurant. Le Soleil seems like a French inspired Vietnamese restaurant and not being very familiar with Vietnamese food in general, our server was kind enough to explain and recommend dishes. Obviously I enjoyed all the coconut milk in nearly every dish.

We started with the crepe and the server explained to wrap the crepe in the lettuce and dip it into the sauce. This was probably my favorite dish of the night! We also shared the curry short rib, which was super rich and came with a side of garlic bread. The shaken beef was pretty good too and came with a side of brown rice. Overall the food was solid but not really worth going out of my way to come back.
