$15 for a $35 Groupon to Bacar's Sunday Brunch

Jump to: Reviews | Best Use of Duck Fat 2008

Today's Groupon gets you a fabulous Sunday brunch at Bacar, SOMA's hottest wine bar and restaurant. Executive chef Morgan Mueller offers the classic seasonal cuisine of Northern California with a French and Mediterranean twist. Every dish features the freshest local ingredients, which are often arranged into complete meals. The food is so delicious it earned Maxim 2008's Best Use of Duck Fat Award in spite of some fierce competition from other finalists. Go for the crispy pork belly and potato hash with asparagus and fried egg, or try the classic country bread French toast served with strawberries, bananas, and vanilla syrup. This Groupon can't be redeemed for lunch or dinner—only for Sunday brunch—but with a brunch menu this delicious, you'll probably want enough Groupons for all 52 Sundays before this Groupon expires so you can try sample every brunchilicious option.

Complement the cuisine with a tasty brunch cocktail or some kind words. Try either of these for just 10 bucks: the Bottomless Bloody Mary with local White Lotus Vodka featured on UrbanDaddy or a Bottomless South Park Swizzler (mint, coconut and pineapple with rum and fresh orange juice). Or go for a glass or bottle from the extensive wine list; Bacar was voted the Second Best San Francisco Wine Bar on 10Best.com. You won't miss the three-story glass-fronted wine wall holding the restaurant's vast wine collection (because you are allowed to take it home with you after you eat).

The three-level restaurant (formerly a warehouse) is marked by elegance with a glass, mahogany, and steel interior. Bacar is filled with skylights, huge windows, tall ceilings, and open spaces—light streams in from every angle, even from below. Whether you enjoy your brunch on the mezzanine or in the larger main dining room, every room is beautifully lit.

Snag today's Groupon and indulge in a full dining experience for Sunday brunch: delectable recipes, smooth wines, and cocktails with a kick.

• Good food, awesome space, and cordial waitstaff...I really liked the wide open space and the exposed brick. – Sean Flynn, Yahoo Local
• this is an amazing space! it's a new york style restaurant in san francisco. the service is fantastic, the people are all great, and they have a bible for a wine list – peterhaan, Citysearch
• the food was exquisite and the wine we had was amazing (although it took me a while to pick it with the selection on offer). Our server (Paul) was attentive but not at our table every 10 seconds. The atmosphere was great and the jazz was cool. – marinadazza, Citysearch
