"the best French onion soup because it's actually a recipe that I got from a chef friend when I was living in Paris" (Ali El Safy)
Mussels are hand-picked by an Italian family in SF
Save room for the warm baguette and butter

Ali El Safy has been serving classic French comfort food to Menlo Park for 25 years, earning a reputation as the neighborhood's unofficial mayor. The Moules Frites feature hand-picked mussels from a San Francisco fishmonger, and the dining room feels like a beloved community living room.
