KAIS BOUZIDI ย PROPRIETOR
ORIGINATED IN TUNISIA, IN NORTH AFRICA, Kais Bouzidi grew up in a family of restaurateurs and began his career in the restaurant industry in Paris, France.ย After spending his formative years learning the inner workings of the family business from his father, Bouzidi moved from Paris to San Francisco at the age of 21.ย Bouzidis drive and ambition allowed him to realize the possibility of running his own restaurant in 2006ย he studied the San Francisco market, the location and the local food culture extensively, building the concept of what would ultimately become Sensย Restaurant in October of 2007.ย Having traveled throughout Southern Europe and Northern Africa, Bouzidi was inspired by the flavors and cultures of Mediterranean countries and cuisines. Born to a French mother and Tunisian father, Bouzidi brings the same blending of cultural influences to the menu and ambiance at Sens. With its wildly popular happy hour, seasonal Mediterranean fare, and gorgeous patio spaces with breathtaking views, Bouzidi has successfully established Sensย as a dining destination on the Embarcadero.
Looking to establish a second location with a similar atmosphere and menu, but with a modern twist, Bouzidi has successfully launched his newest restaurant concept,ย Barcha, in the 425 Market Street Building and located at 28 Fremont. Having the perfect location to satisfy corporate clientele as well as locals and tourists alike, this Mediterranean bistro with Parisian influences offers delicious fair and a chic, yet welcoming smart casual ambiance.

a month agoBarcha SF offers a vibrant dining experience with its Mediterranean-inspired menu, featuring fresh, flavorful dishes that transport you to the coast. The chic ambiance, friendly staff, and great cocktails make it perfect for a date night or group gathering.

3 months agoWe chose Barcha to celebrate our anniversary. We ended up enjoying only their appetisers because the were just too many to choose from. Lamb cigars and Lamb Kofte are the best. We got wonderful service from our host as well as the waiter and the chef made it a point to serve us a couple dishes himself and wished us. They also provided a complementary dessert for us and it was fantastic. Highly recommend getting the baklava dessert.

8 months agoCame here on Valentineโs Day and was very underwhelmed. It took them a little over 2 hours to get through their 3 corse dinner, and it seemed we could not get service at all. The food was decent, but nothing I would particularly seek out. Especially due to the fact I waisted my valentines evening waiting for our food to come out. Overall, very disappointed. I thought they would have wanted to do better on a valentines evening dinner.
