SLANTED DOOR
San Francisco, California 94110–1115 ph: 415.861.8032
One of San Francisco’s newest and most popular restaurants, The Slanted Door serves Vietnamese cuisine in a whimsical and elegant setting.
Notice the graceful, mismatched chairs, the sea-green dishes that perfectly match the color of the walls, and the gentle, diffused sunlight coming in through the skylights. Great dishes include the very fresh imperial rolls,
the green papaya salad, and the grilled whole pompano. Here you’ll find
a restaurant that serves a Vietnamese menu. Expect to pay under $8 per person.
Atmosphere: Table talk is no problem here — noise level is un-
obtrusive.

is a good selection of wines.
