Enter through a metal gate to land upon this charming patio, virtually beaming with lights and greenery. The dining room is quaint, with a sleek bar, exposed brick, and large tile floors. The décor is simple and clean, but a set of sparkling chandeliers add that elegance factor. The staff are a smooth, efficient bunch; and the bistro menu from Chef/owner Paul Magu-Lecugy spans the classics. Think light house-made gougères and wild boar pâté, to a more hearty plate of noisettes de chevreuil poélées (venison stuffed in puff pastry over celery root purée). The lemon meringue tart is always a sublime way to cap off the feast.
A predominantly French wine list goes well beyond just Boudreaux and Burgundy—and even throws in a bit of California for good measure.
