Divided into five French regions, this all-you-can-eat restaurant features classic French food and seasonal specialties under a faux sky in a village-like setting. Among the massive soup and salad bar’s appealing offerings, we like the Manhattan chowder, assorted pâtés and Jonah (stone wannabees) crabs. Hailing from Brittany with its copper pots and tiles picturing the food and the region, Le Village offers signature dishes such as coq au vin and fruit-filled crêpes. Each of the regional stations features meals prepared to order so that each guest is receiving the freshest possible dish. Quiche Lorraine and steamed mussels are typical of Normandy with its blue-patterned tiles. Beef bourguignon and leek mashed potatoes represent Burgundy; spinach ravioli and veal Marengo typify Provence; Alsace displays salmon with leek fondue and Riesling-braised duck. The centerpiece of the village, a charming little "house" with picture windows, displays the lavish desserts. We like the crème caramel, bread pudding with cherry sauce and peach cobbler.
