 Located in a modest strip mall near downtown Chapel Hill, Kitchen is all about the food --- the kind of French provincial comfort fare you crave once you've had it on its home turf. When waiting for a table, sample the house-made merguez or potato gnocchi with wild mushrooms along with an apéritif. Among the draws are the caramelized onion tart, fresh mussels with a choice of four classic sauces, flat-iron steak with shallot jus and crispy frites, and braised lamb shanks with garlic mashed potatoes. Seasonal specials have included sautéed calamari in a tomato-caper sauce. Desserts range from chocolate almond torte to the addictive polenta cake. Owners Dick and Sue Barrows honed their skills in a notable group of Pennsylvania restaurants (he in the kitchen, she on the floor) before establishing this gem, which expresses their passion for simple, classic dishes made with the freshest ingredients. The wine and beer lists reflect the menu’s aesthetic --- quality before quantity --- and the latter features bottles from some of the area’s top breweries.
