About

Duarte's Tavern was founded in 1894, by Frank Duarte, a Portuguese immigrant who bought the building for approximately $12 worth of gold.[2] As of 2017, it was owned and operated by the fourth generation of the Duarte family.[3]

They are well known for their olallieberry pie, artichoke soup (which is also served as half artichoke and half green chile soup) and cioppino, a signature item that was described as "bone-warming" but "very messy".[4][5] The cuisine includes seafood such as fried oysters with fries, snapper, and a crab sandwich which, according to the San Francisco Chronicle's Michael Bauer, had "a lot of thought put into it" with the inside of the sourdough bread toasted enough to hold a "pile of crab" and a "leaf of lettuce".[6] The menu also includes non-seafood items such as a hot beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy.[6]
