Maison Danel, the new French bakery and tea salon from the owners of the long-running Baker Street Bistro, serves up classical continental delicacies in an elegant Belle Epoque-esque setting, with a bit of San Francisco lore mixed in.
That last is in the eatery s gorgeous pastry creation, Le Magnifique, which harkens back to the early days of the City by the Bay (and also recalls the city s long and storied French past). Le Magnifique was inspired by the city of San Francisco and its history as a beacon for opportunity, says David de Betelu, co-owner of Maison Danel with his husband Danel de Betelu. The shape of the pastry is meant to evoke a ship sailing into the San Francisco Bay. The gold leaf is a reference to the Gold Rush. And the name itself is a name you d give to a ship in French.
