It was around lunchtime. After our short visit at\u00a0Blue Bottle Coffee, we decided to check out another popular lunch spot in Downtown San Francisco before our media lunch at 1 pm.<\/p>\n

Areta\u00a0suggested the Belgian-inspired\u00a0Vive La Tarte<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0in SoMa, based on their popular presence on Instagram with the famous croissants served with toppings.<\/p>\n

We walked into this vast space, completely open.\u00a0 The dining side of the space features a\u00a0stadium-style seating area, where diners can look down to a spotless industrial size kitchen run by cooks,\u00a0 bakers, and servers, all working in a harmonious order. There are also a few rows of canteen-style tables filled with lunch goers. Some outdoor seatings are also available. People order food directly from the super long counter, which is also a display of their daily featured lunch items and baked goods.<\/p>\n

I was pretty\u00a0hungry and wanted a fix of this extremely delicious-looking Bacon and Egg Focaccia Pizza<\/strong>. ($8) The texture of the bread is just impeccable, pleasantly fluffy but also with a bit of a nice chew, and finished with an incredibly tasty cheese crust.\u00a0 Cutting through the perfectly cooked egg, I let the\u00a0yoke running all over the bacon and cheese goodness. It was a piece of heavenly happiness.<\/p>\n

We were also impressed by these photogenic giant\u00a0croissants and ordered the\u00a0Pain Au Chocolat<\/strong>\u00a0($4),\u00a0Orange Blossom and Za\u2019atar<\/strong>\u00a0($4),\u00a0Key Lime<\/strong>\u00a0($5) and\u00a0Strawberry Shortcake<\/strong>\u00a0($5). Besides loving how buttery and flaky they are,\u00a0 I am excited to see more choices than just plain and chocolate croissants at a bakery.<\/p>\n

Final words<\/h2>\n

The lunch items and the baked goods here are visually stunning and taste just as incredible as they look. The Industrial-chic feels of the open space is rather refreshing for a break\/lunch spot, where everyone can really enjoy a nice start of the day or a satisfying lunch break. For visitors, this spot gives a piece of the SoMa life and it’s definitely worth checking out.<\/p>\n
