Tersiguel's

Tersiguel's Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: The dining rooms within this historic flagstone house on Ellicott City’s Main Street are quite congenial. The front room has a cozy, familial feel, complete with a china-laden hutch, while the back room is part greenhouse, part drawing room hung with hunting prints. Chef Michel Tersiguel --- who bought the restaurant from his Breton-born parents, Fernand and Odette --- brings a lot of love to his country-French cooking, gathering herbs and greens from his own garden and smoking his own trout.

Food: The dishes that stick closest to the family’s roots --- seafood chowder, charcuterie, grilled mini rack of veal with a stew of braised sweetbreads, pork belly and roasted portobello --- are most satisfying. For dessert, do indulge in the crêpes Suzette.
