 A dinner at Bistro Moulin is like being swept away to a small café in the heart of Strasbourg. The intimate dining room---home to only about ten tables---romances with country-style tablecloths, glowing chandeliers, walls lined with French and California wines (available for purchase) and shabby chic décor. Chef-owner Didier Dutertre serves simple dishes from his pint-size kitchen. A good place to start is with the wine list, which features more than 100 choices hand-picked by Dutertre, including 2006 Saint Andre Corbin, Saint Emilion, and 2008 Pisoni Estate Pinot Noir. The minimal menu offers classic appetizers such as piping-hot French onion soup and escargots soaked in garlic and hazelnut butter. Homemade gnocchi con spinaci are fluffy potato-less pillows of zest that get better with every bite. Niman Ranch steak bordelaise, served with pommes frites, falls apart when pierced with a fork. Expect a little decadence for dessert, from the simple crème brûlée to a trio of profiteroles filled with house-made vanilla ice cream and draped with chocolate sauce.
