What better way to start a Sunday morning than by having brunch at a restaurant with scrumptious food in a beautiful park setting? Pres A Vi, located in the Presidio, is based on the concept of presenting cuisine from a variety of international influences, including Spain, France, and Latin America. I decided to check out their brunch with a couple of friends who were in town for the weekend.
I started off with a lobster bisque, a blend of lobster, cream, and brandy presented in a shot glass. It was very creamy and smooth, although I thought it could have used a little more salt.

The shrimp cakes were exquisite, and the hollandaise sauce was buttery but not overwhelming. The dish came with country-style potatoes, an apple turnover, and fresh fruit.

The restaurant also has pretty good coffee, which I consider a brunch must-have (if you're not going to have mimosas).So if you're ever in the mood for a nice brunch in San Francisco, this just might make your morning.
