“Bastille Day” French Block Party Back in SF for First Time in 8 Years
“Bastille on Belden” Returns for First Time in 8 Years
After a long break, San Francisco seems to be trying to claim back the title of “The Paris of the West.” Back in the 90s and 00s, French restaurant Cafe Bastille hosted a rollicking Bastille Day celebration crammed into downtown’s narrow Belden Place. After an eight year hiatus, the block party is finally back with a tamer (but still delicious) soiree planned. Don a complimentary beret, listen to live classic accordion music and come famished for a special night of French-themed dishes from six restaurants including Corsican Braised Mutton from Toy Soldier, Coq au Vin from Cafe Bastille and mussels at Sam’s Grill.

Let the classic accordion music of Vintage Jukebox, French-inspired dishes served by the restaurants of Belden Place, and complimentary berets provided by Downtown SF remind you why San Francisco was once called the Paris of the West.
