Cafe Rabelais

French restaurant · Virginia Court

Where to Eat and Drink in Rice Village

"Classics are such for a reason, and Café Rabelais is a prime example of that. French staples like beef bourguignon and trout amandine remain some of the restaurant’s most prized dishes, but don’t forget to explore the restaurant’s board of ever-changing specials — especially if the foie gras torchon is on the menu." - Megha McSwain, Brittany Britto Garley
