The Original San Francisco Sourdough™
In 1849, Isidore Boudin struck gold with four simple ingredients: flour, water, salt, and mother dough. See how San Francisco’s history is baked into every bite.

Our Culinary Team
As Chefs, we appreciate the true nature of the ingredients we use and our menu is designed to enhance the components of each dish. We work closely with our purveyors to source fresh products from local farms and ranches whenever possible. We believe in sustainable practices and support vendors who utilize these principles. We have partnered with distributors who support small family farms and fisheries, helping to ensure the highest quality meats and seafood available.
Boudin has been shaped, formed and preserved for more than 166 years by a wonderfully diverse group of people who share common values: hard work, dedication to excellence, and pride in producing The Original San Francisco Sourdough™
