Description

Chef Waldy Malouf was a pioneer of the open hearth wood-burning oven; in fact, most of the food is done in it at this picturesque spot. Seating is on several levels, and a new bar menu allows you to eat here more cheaply than before. But even on the regular menu, there are cheaper options, such as the splendid hamburger with fennel pickles and homemade ketchup, accompanied by garlic fries. The menu is seasonal, and autumn"s smooth pumpkin soup is terrific. On a recent revisit, our favorite dish was a wood-roasted artichoke, charred on the edges and inundated with garlic olive oil. The devil"s food chocolate cake, served with ice cream flavored with wood-roasted vanilla beans, is the way to go for dessert.

  • 2008 | Best French Fries

    Robert Sietsema: I'm still dreaming of the garlic-heaped fries at Waldy Malouf's Beacon, which come decorated with parsley to freshen your breath as you gobble them. The accompanying hamburger seems almost like an afterthought as you contemplate those suntanned fries. Sarah DiGregorio: The twice-fried fries at Pommes Frites are golden-crisp and thick-cut. The place is so busy that the fries go immediately from the oil to you, scalding hot but irresistible. Plus, you can top your order wi... More »
