The Poodle Dog Restaurants were a series of French Restaurants in San Francisco, California, spanning from at least 1849 to the mid-1960s. The successive restaurants were mostly unrelated, but each built on the former's success and reputation. During its heyday, the Poodle Dog was the epitome of wealth and opulence in San Francisco, catering to important statesmen, financial leaders, and business tycoons. It also developed a racy reputation for catering to those men's need for a discreet place to meet with their mistresses and ladies of the night. More than anything, it was well known for having impressive foods, being labeled as "the best French restaurant in the city," if not the "best dollar dinner on Earth".
