Description

Parlez-vous fran�ais? It's not necessary. Sophie's menu looks intimidating, with fancy names like le carre d'agneau sauce Perrigeux and le saumon fume a ma fa�on, but these translate to familiar, superb specialties such as rack of lamb and smoked salmon. This charming little cottage is a rarity, where everything on the menu exceeds expectations, from a stunning croque monsieur to mouth-watering crepes.

2008 | Best French Restaurant

We're completely aware of the stuffy reputation that French restaurants have, and we're certain that the folks at Sophie's are, too. In fact, it seems like they're trying to completely defy that snooty stereotype. The service is warm and welcoming, and the setting -- with wood floors, rustic wooden ceiling beams, colorful abstract art, and a little piano jazz in the background -- is stylishly cozy. Meanwhile, the bistro-style menu is both sophisticated and comforting, a roundup of... More »
2006 | BEST PLACE TO BE A LADY WHO LUNCHES

This little French restaurant is great at dinner, don't get us wrong. But our favorite time to visit is lunchtime, when this above-average dining experience gives us a little pick-me-up. The fresh white linens, sunny wood floors and (don't tell our boss) glass of dry white wine go well with the companionship of some giggly girlfriends. Try the French onion soup, or a light salad. And order the fries, you can share. The best part of the meal is free -- the tiny rich chocolate truffle tha... More »
2004 | BEST FRENCH RESTAURANT

Was it the pan-seared foie gras that won our hearts The pâtè du chef infused with Madeira, cognac and essence of white truffle Or those divine lamb chops with the pistachio-sage crust Sure, Sophie's has ambiance aplenty, set as it is in a cozy little cottage, with hardwood floors, roughhewn wooden beams holding up the ceiling, and tasteful abstract prints hung on the cream-colored walls. And, of course, the service is nonpareil. But it's owner Serge Boukatch's classic French... More »
2003 | BEST FRENCH FRIES

Sophie's calls this plate Les Frites – la Parisienne. It sounds completely intimidating until you realize that, hey, this is just a fancy name for French fries. But mon Dieu, these are not just any fries. For less than five bucks, you get a soup bowl full of exquisitely fresh-cut shoestring potatoes, perfectly deep fat fried to be crisp-skinned with a succulent hot interior. They're dusted with fresh herbs, ever so gently salted, and served with roasted tomato aioli (think sweet, chunky... More »

We're completely aware of the stuffy reputation that French restaurants have, and we're certain that the folks at Sophie's are, too. In fact, it seems like they're trying to completely defy that snooty stereotype. The service is warm and welcoming, and the setting � with wood floors, rustic wooden ceiling beams, colorful abstract art, and a little piano jazz in the background � is stylishly cozy. Meanwhile, the bistro-style menu is both sophisticated and comforting, a roundup of French greatest hits, from tender, garlicky escargots and velvety p�t� du chef (made with Madeira, Cognac, and lavender honey), to crispy frites � la Parisienne. Pan-seared coquilles Saint-Jacques (scallops served with ricotta gnocchi) is hard to resist, while the magret de canard aux peches is one of this city's tastiest preparations of duck. Here, Maple Leaf Farm duck breast is perfectly seared, glazed with saba and cinnamon. Desserts are seductive as well, from lemon-honey cr�me br�l�e to the decadent chocolate-hazelnut pyramid. You don't have to be a Francophile to visit Sophie's, but it's hard not to be one after eating here.
