Restaurant and Bar Bartender

Joujou is the highly anticipated new French-inspired dining destination in San Francisco's Design District, created by David Barzelay and Colleen Booth, the team behind the two Michelin Star Lazy Bear and renowned cocktail bar True Laurel.

JouJou (French for “toy” or “plaything”) is an homage to the bustling and beloved restaurants of an era that promised a great time when you went out. It’s where everyone wants to be: glamorous but unpretentious, easy but stylish, full of energy and life, and with a sensual warmth that comes from a shared sense of pleasure in society.

JouJou brings French food to the table through the California lens of Chef David Barzelay. Seafood-focused but not exclusively so, offered through an eclectic, a la carte menu.

JouJou pairs all of this with easygoing hospitality that feels effortless and cool while meeting every need with elegance and poise.
