A perfect precursor to a weekday matinée, the Menu Belle Époque is offered Monday through Friday, 11:00am – 2:00pm, through November 6th. The special prix fixe menu features your choice between two appetizers and two entrées and includes a take-away box of rose petal macarons for $42 per person. In addition, The weekend Moulin Rouge! Brunch Buffet is offered Saturdays and Sundays, 8:00am-2:00pm and features a French-inspired buffet paired with bottomless bubbles for $59 per person. For an additional $25 enjoy bottomless mimosas with your pre-theatre meal. 

Villon, a jewel box in San Francisco Proper’s restored 1908 flatiron building on Market Street, a quick 3-minute stroll to The Orpheum Theatre, offers an elevated and sophisticated approach to California cuisine. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Jason Fox, Villon reimagines the classic “sexiness” of hotel dining with a return to glamour without stuffiness. The menu respects San Francisco’s history with a reimagining of the past infusing the city’s modern spirit and creativity.
