Famous for their boeuf bourguignon, grand marnier souflee. We ordered both, plus the crème brulee with raspberries. Everything was lovely.
Best frites. Steak au poivre was flawless, but might order steak for 2 next time (served on butcher block). Best-ever app: fried egg w/ crispy prosciutto and sautéed hen of the woods mushrooms.
Make rez weeks in advance. V $$$, but definitely an experience. Roast chicken is life changing. Potato cake is a winner.
Both the wine bar and resto serve excellent food. Burrata at wine bar. 3-course prix fixe at restaurant. Everyone here will be American, but don’t let that deter you. It’s incredible.
