Nopa is a very nice restaurant in San Francisco. It has a nice vibrant atmosphere, a casual-chic interior structure and decoration with a long bar and open kitchen. The kitchen offers a counter sitting where you can watch the chef cook. I sat upstairs where I wouldn't consider the best sit in the restaurant but it was interesting to have a complete view of the restaurant from above. No to mention that I, accidentally, dropped an olive down on a table in the dinning room below :)
I shared the "Warm Marinated Olives" ($5.00) as an appetizer with my sister. For my entree I chose the "Moroccan Vegetable Tagine, Almonds and Lemon Yogurt" ($16.00) without the yogurt. It was surprisingly delicious!!! The olives were okay. Interesting idea to have warm olives, they were good and tasty but nothing different from the ordinary olives that we would get anywhere else. The Tagine was really good. I confess to thinking it wouldn't be enough to eat or boringly tasty, but I was wrong. It was really tasty and more than enough quantity. So good that I've been craving it!
At this restaurant I had a little hard time understanding the menu. A lot of "fancy" words that I didn't know what they meant, much less what the food was. I had to ask a lot and thanks to a patient server, chose the right dish.
You can access their website www.nopasf.com and check out their menu.
I will definitely go back to Nopa! The restaurant is "cool" and the service was good.
You can also just go for drinks and/or appetizers. There are a lot of seats at the bar where you can also order food.
