"Café Sauvage tells a love story, says cofounder Anaïs Lambert, who owns the new Back Bay Parisian bistro with her husband Antoine Lambert. It’s their love story — a tale of fusing cultures and upbringings together, of finding compromise between Anaïs Lambert’s African heritage and both Lamberts’s roots in France. The restaurant reflects diversity and compromise in its multicultural menu that includes jambon-beurre with a side of plantains, banh mi, acai bowls, injera crepes, along with French classics like steak frites and croque-madames. The Lamberts and chef Kendall DaCosta aim to present a menu that represents the larger picture of Parisian cuisine. Café Sauvage is located at 25 Massachusetts Ave., Boston, in the former Hsin Hsin Cafe space and can fit about 40 diners inside with potential sidewalk seating outside." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
