Inspired by Lennox Hastie’s time in the foothills of the Basque country, Gildas is a homage to the original pintxo created in San Sebastian with three simple ingredients; a guindilla pepper, an olive, and an anchovy – a creation which coincided with the screening of the eponymous film starring the stunning Rita Hayworth, Gilda, at the San Sebastian Film Festival in 1946.

Nopa, opened in 2006 on the corner of Divisadero and Hayes Street, in a building that was formerly a coin-operated laundromat, and before that the site of a Bank of Italy.
The mission was simple—build a community gathering place and serve honest food made from local, seasonal ingredients, pour great wine and cocktails, and be of service.
Since day one the menu has changed daily with ingredients sourced locally from bay area Farmers’ Markets and nearby food purveyors. Serving generous portions, offering a diverse wine list, and crafting thoughtful, straightforward cocktails.
Collaboration is the heart and soul of this dynamic restaurant. Encouraging staff to contribute their unique passions and expertise to building daily menus, refining standards of service, and distinguishing the Nopa guest experience.
Nopa has always loved feeding people and pride themselves on serving a diverse community of guests, from neighborhood regulars to local industry leaders, special occasion groups, and visitors from out of town. Believing it is an honor and a privilege to do this work and hold that attitude in interactions with one another and every guest.
