Restaurants are shuttering like mad these days. Because people are poorer. But it's your job, hungry/employed consumers, to keep San Francisco's top-tier food reputation going strong. So, why not check out some of SF's esteemed eateries on a rare Monday night out on the town, via SFist's new Monday food feature?
- The Mission's not-so best kept secret, Bar Bambino, is open on Mondays starting tonight. Be sure to check out Monday Night Suppers from 5 p.m. - 10 p.m. According to their press release, "Our fixed-price menu will feature elegantly rustic Italian fare, served family style." Plus, the wine will flow liberally, "served by the quarto litro (1/4 liter)." Which is a bizarre volume unit with which we are unfamiliar because we're from the US of A. Cost: $35 per person; wine, $10. (Bar Bambino, 2931 - 16th Street)
-
According to Marcia at Tablehopper, Left Coast Smoke, a mobile BBQ feast, will help you shove pulled-pork sandwiches down your throat. Open wide at Shotwell's tonight from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m. (Shotwell's, 3349 - 20th Street)
-
Marcia goes on to report that Incanto has a "cucina povera menu," featuring three courses for a mere $30 (or $39 with wine.) "It will change each week, featuring a different region for both the food and wines." (Incanto, 1550 Church)
-
Since San Francisco's only location is in Fishermen's Wharf, we can't recommend going to In-N-Out to grab a couple of Double-Doubles and a strawberry shake. (For reals, skip the fries so that your stomach can handle the extra burger.) Instead, due to Michael Bauer's admiration of it, we're going to recommend Popeye's chicken for some Louisiana love. Yay, fried poultry! (Four locations: 2598 Mission, 890 Geneva, 599 Divisadero, 1426 Fillmore)
- Call up and order some savory, cheap, meaty imperial rolls at Tu Lan. But be sure to pick them up, then scram. Seriously. At the risk of offending overly-sensitive readers, Tu Lan is filthy. Eating there is like eating in an armpit. Not a dry idea, folks. Get them to-go. (Tu Lan: 8 - Sixth Street)
- We had to add this one. Eater's Paolo has word about Grand Cafe's Monday nights. Ahem: "Half-off dinner in the bar: mention the password 'Moulin Rouge' and receive the 'employee' discount of 50% off the Grand Bar menu." Every Monday, folks. (Grand Cafe, 501 Geary)

Hey now!
This is good stuff. Especially on Bambino & Incanto, whose prices were juuust high enough during this recession to keep me away.
Great tip, SFist!
Thanks for the.. oh, hey, wait just a minute!
Thanks for the tip! I would love to see this as a regular sort of "git yer butts out thar" reminder...a friend and I will SO be at Bambino tonight, thanks to you.
you've linked to the wrong shotwell's...
It's time to launch the 'SFist Fine Dining Diet.' The staple meal being two (two!!) double-doubles and a strawberry shake.

per In'N'Out love, you can always take BART to Colma, it's about 1/4 mile from the station.
But I can't take BART to Colma using my Muni Fastpass, can I?
I AM OPPRESSED!
Cucina povera made up of three courses and costing $30? I think my understanding of povera and theirs is just too different for words.
Well yeah. And tapas is just supposed to be specialized bar food. But that horse has pretty much fled the barn.
For a great deal you should check out GrouponSF.com today (6/9) they have a deal for Colibri Mexican Bistro.... you pay $10 on GrouponSF and can redeem it for $25 worth of food at Colibri. The Groupon is good for 12 months.

The Popeye's on Divisadero is grody-to-the-max. It's far, far better to go to the Fish. Wharf In-N-Out, even if you need to take a bus for half an hour each way or get in the car or taxi.
