Taking root from the culinary heritage of Vietnam, Kingfisher presents a classic take on authentic Vietnamese French influence food with a California sensibility. Nestled in the historic neighbourhood of Golden Hill and combined with a forward-thinking and elevated craft cocktail program, Kingfisher strives to provide an exciting balance of the soulful and intricate flavors of traditional Vietnamese dishes and ingredients.
This pretty bird makes a splash in its stunning Golden Hill location, which offers no shortage of charm. A striking central bar provides the perfect perch for thirsty guests to wet their beaks with a terrific assortment of inventive cocktails, which serve as excellent complements to the mouth-watering menu of inspired Vietnamese cooking.
The shareable dishes are bursting with vibrant, herbaceous flavors typical of the cuisine, treated with a modern sensibility and careful technique. Expect creative, ingredient-driven takes on classic dishes, as raw scallops prepared with the flavours of canh chua, a sweet-and-sour soup with tamarind and pineapple. Vegetarian offerings, like a hearty bowl of congee topped with wild mushrooms, are no slouch, either.
