Our summer winemaker dinner series is here. This season, we’re welcoming three exceptional producers to our table for evenings of rare pours paired with five-course menus. Tickets for May 18 are available now via the link in our bio and going fast.
Yes, we do brunch! Chilbir, Dungeness crab scrambled eggs, tepsi kebabi, and this crispy-fried poached egg over chickpea tagine with olives, tarragon yogurt, and a chubby pita. A lot of ways to do eggs, and other Dalida classics. Saturdays and Sundays, 11:00 am to 2:30 pm.

Breaking bread is one of the oldest gestures of hospitality in the Eastern Mediterranean. Before a meal begins, before anything is ordered or decided, the table is set with spreads and something warm from the oven. Here, that is this dish.
Hummus, ground smooth from dried chickpeas. Muhammara, a Syrian-rooted red pepper and walnut spread we make with Turkish pepper paste and almond meal. Smoked yogurt. Marinated olives. And our housemade pickles, fermented in-house from seasonal vegetables, bright and sharp and there to cut through the richness of everything beside them. The chubby pita comes on the side, baked to order in the wood-fired oven.

Lamb and tart cherry is one of the oldest flavor pairings in the Eastern Mediterranean. We build on it here with young pistachios and simit croutons. Catch this version now before stone fruit season changes it.

Herbs and blossoms from our Presidio garden are steeped in hot vinegar, then finished with finely diced shallot. That mignonette comes with the half-dozen.

Proof that a side dish can still steal the spotlight.
Cone cabbage, fermented until it hits that perfect tang, then roasted in butter. Crispy mujadara brings the crunch, Georgian ajika brings the heat, and nasturtium leaves with garlic chive blossoms from our Presidio garden tie it all together.

The Presidio garden is running the bar right now. Gazoz is our traditional non-alcoholic sparkling drink built on fermented fruit cheong, fresh herbs from the garden, sparkling water, and popping pearls. Every version is worth trying as the seasons shifts.

Join Steve and Jill at Dalida in San Francisco on Monday, May 18 at 6:30pm, for a five-course tasting menu paired with Matthiasson wines. Link in bio to book.
Spring is showing up beautifully on the menu.
The Artichoke Kebab layers z’hug marinated poached artichoke and spring onions with a green peppercorn tarragon emulsion and a local tombo tuna olive salad. Right now, the green peppercorn emulsion is Chef @sayatozyilmaz ’s favorite sauce, and he especially loves the surprise of white asparagus pickles tucked into the line-caught tuna salad.
Inspired by the flavors of a niçoise and lifted with Aegean touches, the artichoke kebab with a pita makes for a perfect lunch Tuesday through Friday.

You might not always see her, but you’ve definitely felt her work. Chef Summer has been with us since opening, behind countless dishes and many of the events beyond the restaurant too.

Breaking Bread is a favorite for a reason, and the best thing to share with the table. A warm, chubby pita hits the table and suddenly everyone is reaching through hummus, muhammara, smoked yogurt, pickles, and olives.
