Foreign Cinema

Everything about Foreign Cinema adds up to a wonderful dining experience. After entering off a funky block on Mission, you emerge into an indoor/outdoor room with classic films projected on a wall. Great food. Amazing atmosphere.

I think this movie-themed restaurant is suitable for couples to come and have a drink while watching a nostalgic old movie. The atmosphere is quite elegant. There were not many people when we came, and the food was pretty good.

The biggest feature of their store is the big screen. If you like, you can watch the movies they show while eating. It feels a bit like a home theater. The food is mainly gourmet.

Foreign Cinema in San Francisco is a movie theater restaurant. Almost all dishes are delicious without disappointment! It is a restaurant that you will want to visit again! The appetizer Calamari is stewed and tasty; it is much healthier than fried ones. The Little Gem salad is not as good as Octavia, probably because the cheese taste is a bit strong. The Sword Fish is very delicious and has a wok flavor! The meat is tender and tastes great! Later I found that several tables around ordered it haha. Spiced duck breast, medium rare. Oh! The gravy is full and the duck aroma is full in the mouth. I am super satisfied as I love duck meat the most! The most popular dessert is Blueberry Short Cake! It is a very fragrant shortcake, filled with ice cream, blueberries, etc. It is not very sweet and has a good aftertaste. The other one is a coconut cake, which is relatively unremarkable and a bit sweet. This restaurant starts showing old movies every night after sunset. The entrance of the restaurant is covered with a red carpet, and you feel like a star when you go in to eat. I think you have to go there at night, and then eat slowly until dark and wait for the movie to start. There are old-fashioned speakers next to each table, so you can hear some of the movie dialogue. But in fact, who really goes there just to watch a movie? They just want that retro atmosphere.
