Immerse your senses in seasonal wood-fired delicacies, handcrafted natural wines, and architectural dining in the heart of San Francisco.
At Aurelia & Oak, dining is treated as both an elemental ritual and an art form. Every plate tells the geographic and seasonal chronicle of Northern California.
Founded in 2012 by Chef Matteo Laurent and Sommelier Camille Vane, we cook over open fires fueled by California white oak and kiln-dried birch. We forge deep relationships with coastal biodynamic farmers, ocean foragers, and legacy vineyards to bring honest, transformative flavor to your palate.
Whether an intimate anniversary dinner, a celebratory chef's counter experience, or evening cocktails under vaulted glass.
Gather around our central open kitchen where flickering flames dance amidst stone and rich walnut accents.
Seats up to 70 guestsAn intimate front-row culinary spectacle. Watch the brigade execute an exclusive 9-course tasting menu.
Limited to 10 seats / nightSubterranean sanctuary reserved for private parties, somatic tastings, and collector vintage pairings.
Up to 18 guests private"Cooking over live wood is not a technique; it is a conversation with time, climate, and the memory of the trees."
Trained in Lyon and seasoned in Tokyo's charcoal yakitori parlors, Matteo's culinary lineage harmonizes strict French precision with rustic hearth cookery. Before unveiling Aurelia & Oak, he spent 6 years leading Michelin three-star kitchens across Europe and North America.
Best Chef: California (2022 & 2023)
Grand Award of Excellence
We let raw purity speak louder than unneeded garnish.
"The bone marrow infused dry-aged ribeye served with ember-roasted leeks is arguably the single finest plate of meat available on the Pacific Coast today."
"A sensational union of wood fire alchemy and sommelier brilliance. The Chef’s Nocturne tasting menu is sublime from opening broth to final smoked cocoa truffle."
"Atmospheric, seductive, and unpretentiously welcoming. It has rapidly redefined fine dining without the cold formality of yesteryear."
We take reservations up to 30 days in advance. For parties of 7 or more, or private cellar buyouts, please connect with our guest concierge.
