So Plush, so tasty
New restaurant Cossu is scheduled to open mid to late June 2008 at the previous location of Pasha Restaurant. Pasha closed in November 2007, the first time in 30 years, due to damage by fire at neighboring business. Now Cossu is bringing new energy, great food and beautiful atmosphere back to this Russian Hill neighborhood.

Cossu, meaning "Plush, rich interior", is located on Broadway (at Polk) in San Francisco. Offering a modern, eclectic range of flavors, Cossu takes California Cuisine and reinvents it. The new menu created by Executive Chef, Hicham Senhaji combines classic French techniques, Asian flavors and his native Moroccan touches, with the elegance and beauty of California Cuisine to create this fusion menu. Bathed in rich fabrics of wine and copper, the setting is warm and romantic. The canopy of satin overhead is crowned by an ornate hand carved ceiling center piece making the design itself eclectic. With its beautiful new interior, inventive menu, Cossu is the place to be seen in this affluent city by the bay. Go for just drinks and appetizers in the lounge or dinner in the main dining room and see why Cossu is the new hotspot in San Francisco!
