Restaurant history
When you are here with your San Francisco discount rental car, you may learn a little bit about the history of the restaurant. It was opened in 1979 by three partners in a space that was only about a quarter of the size of the restaurant today. The name Zuni was chosen after the Native American tribe and took inspiration from Diana Kennedy's cookbooks. In the early years, the restaurant struggled, but the owners were passionate and resourceful. By 1986, the business started to grow and gained space in the store next door. By 1987, the restaurant was thriving and today is a landmark in the city. What's unique about the restaurant is that they have their own cookbook that you can take home as a souvenir.
