Best Tuile in San Francisco

“A baked wafer arced in shape, resembling the French roof tiles it's named after.”

Tuile

What the real thing tastes like

A tuile () is a baked wafer, French in origin, generally arced in shape, that is made most often from dough (but also possibly from cheese), often served as an accompaniment of other dishes. Tuile is the French word for tile, after the shape of roof tiles that the arced baked good most often resembles. Tuiles are commonly added as garnishes to desserts such as panna cotta or used as edible cups for sorbet or ice cream.

A tuile is a delicate French wafer, thin and crisp, shaped into an arc that echoes the curve of a roof tile—where it gets its name. Made from simple dough (or sometimes cheese), these baked garnishes arrive at the table with purpose: cradling sorbet, propping up panna cotta, or standing as edible vessels for ice cream. It's architecture you can eat.
