San Francisco Bistro Closes-Jeanne d’Arc

Thank you, Jeanne d’Arc, for being the “Frenchiest French bistro in San Francisco,” as described in 2018by The Chronicle’s Jonathan Kauffman. Owners Micheline and Claude Lambert announced the restaurant’s end in the French language followed by English on Bastille Day. It was a fitting, but sad end for the 48-year-old former boarding house that turned into a mural-filled, throwback restaurant staffed by owners, chefs and artists who worked together as a family. “One last good word for San Francisco who opened its Golden Gate doors for us in …1966,” The Lamberts wrote in their Facebook page goodbye. “We wish the best to the people that we had the opportunity to meet.”
