An amazing brunch meal is not just a regular, but often a “necessary” weekend dining experience. And while most are very egg-and-pancake-centric, there are those that go above and beyond the norm—with an international twist—crossing gastronomic boundaries you never knew existed! That is what you’ll experience with these unbelievable brunch plates at Cassava. This brunch restaurant in San Francisco is sure to please, especially those ready to feast!
Located on Balboa St. in the Outer Richmond District of San Francisco, Cassava is an iconic city favorite focusing on high-quality Japanese-inspired fare.
Cassava is very popular for dinner, but it’s their brunch menu that really levels up. So much so that it is offered Thursday through Sunday!
Start with a shareable plate like the Cassava Fried Chicken.

The Avocado Burrata Toast is a popular crowd pleaser.

This is definitely not your momma’s avocado toast! It starts with Burrata di Andria, then avocado on their yummy buttered house Shokupan toast, plus foraged greens.
The goodness starts with a house-baked bun cradling a tender buttermilk battered chicken thigh, then topped with fermented savoy cabbage, green garlic aioli, and cilantro. Oh boy!
And of course, any great brunch meal must be accompanied by a nice cocktail, right?
Choose from wine, sake, or perhaps the Red Hot One, made with tomato juice, beer, chili-infused tequila, white pepper, lime, cucumber – and yes, it can be made in a non-alcoholic version.
