Description
Francophiles should check out this Continental charmer that's tucked inside the Cove shopping center with friendly, efficient service and true-to-its-roots cuisine. The bouillabaisse is said to be tres authentic, and vichyssoise, escargots, crêpes suzette, and sole meuniere all ring true to the Loire Valley crowd. (The owner is from there.) Early-bird and summertime discounts make it a value for those who love these classics, though many of the dishes - a chicken chasseur or trout with almonds, or beef bourguignon -- are offered at dinner prices still within reach. A mix of domestics and French wines make up their small list. Décor is dated (white lace curtains), but the older crowd may not notice. Desserts like the pear tart or the chocolate mousse cake are worth a dessert stop alone.
