French Technique, Peruvian Soul

JC Bruno Restaurant is the culinary vision of Chef Juan Carlos “JC” Morales. Classically trained in French cuisine and seasoned in renowned San Francisco kitchens like Michael Mina, JC blends French technique, California ingredients and his Peruvian heritage into a menu you won’t find anywhere else in San Bruno, from classic bouillabaisse and sake-miso Chilean sea bass to lomo saltado, rack of lamb and filet mignon. His close relationships with local purveyors keep every plate fresh, seasonal and a true taste of the Bay Area.
