Awash in brown and pink, this whimsical blink-and-you'll-miss-it sit-down storefront is the stuff of a Francophile's dreams. White linen tables, sparkling wine glasses and Parisian café tunes are civilized, while service is approachable. Equally adept at both of its namesake eats, meals begin---and end---with seasonally inspired bounty. Prince Edward Island mussels are mouthwatering when finished in tomato-thyme fumé; and pan-roasted red grouper with sweet corn, black truffle butter and lobster hash with farm-fresh chervil salade couldn't be simpler. And be sure to snag the lovely, super-crispy duck fat frites with apricot-date chutney. At meal's end, try the sticky toffee bread pudding, if available. Look for nice touches like chocolate chip bread on arrival and wasabi truffles with the check.
