| Owner Benedicte Cooper hails from Alsace, France, and does a thriving business centered on traditional bistro fare. Classic spätzle dishes are presented in two versions; creamy house-made chicken liver pâté is sold by the pound for take-home; and choucroute is accented with smoked meats and sausages. There may be rabbit from time to time, as Cooper prepares unusual and not-often-seen dishes from her homeland. Check out the cassoulet in winter. Soups are light and flavorful in summer, more substantial in cooler weather, and the French onion is always spot-on. For lunch, try a Mauricette sandwich built with Alsace pretzel bread. Home-style desserts star, including chocolate mousse, crème brûlée or a fresh fruit tart. French wines and beers compose this short but very worthwhile wine list, and some good selections are offered by the glass. Brunch is well executed, with stuffed savory crêpes, for instance. |
