Day 8 - Brunch in Nob Hill

Bill recently made friends with a chef who lives in a lovely garden apartment in Nob Hill. Today he invited us over for brunch, and it ended up being quite a memorable meal.

We got there a little early so we walked around for a bit. Bill perfectly matched Stookey's Club Moderne.

It's hard not to see beautiful views in Nob Hill.

To get to Jan's apartment you had to walk through a lovely garden. The table was set far back from the street, so that you almost forget that you're in the city. Thankfully, the sun decided to come out and greet us.

Then we got to eating! We started with an amazing trout salad, followed by a delicious beef rib-cake, topped with a poached egg.

We finished the meal with some delicious fruit, cheese, and a decadent brownie and ice cream. The brunch went from morning to evening. The multiple courses, paired with champagne and wine reminded of meals I'd had in Southern France.

After eating for hours, I decided to walk home to the Richmond district along California Street - one of the most beautiful walks in the city.

It's days like these, when I'm surrounded with good food, good people, and amazing views, that I remember why I love my city.
