"One of the more visually striking restaurants on the list, Bastille is an even-toned balance of Art Nouveau and industrial design, complete with exposed brick, concrete pillars, and mood lighting. The design keeps on giving, too: A narrow corridor at the back of the main dining room opens up to a massive, sophisticated room, a lovely place to spend an evening. And the food is distinctively French, featuring classics such as the open-faced croque madame and steak frites." - Leonardo David Raymundo
