french bistro

Perhaps I'm biased, as my boyfriend is a chef there... but quite frankly the best fine dining in the city. Not an extensive menu for Veggies however the one or two items they offer I guarentee will amaze you. Full of flavour, beautifully presented and make sure to check out the huge wine list.

Great food at a great price.

Packed on any day of the week, this French bistro deserves its popularity. While the starters & desserts are excellent, the mains (all reasonably priced at $17 & under) truly shine. The menu changes daily but tender braised lamb & veal shanks are often featured. The more adventurous meat eating diner would be wise to choose seared veal sweetbreads or grilled veal liver. Seafood specials are reliably fresh and tasty. Vegetarians beware: the menu is heavy on the animal products.

Tightly placed tables and seats looking onto all others doesn't make it a romantic bistro but the food is down to earth and delicious. Tripe stews, escargots in a fantastically beautifully rich sauce are amazing for the winters. Some classics aren't the best renditions but give me a blue steak with some smooth marrow smoothed overtop and I'm a happy girl. Oh, don't forget their meaty frites to have in their quirky charming locale.
