"The sister restaurant to downtown’s Bouchon, this casual East Asheville brasserie offers the same menu of comforting Parisian classics in a warm and inviting space decked out in modern French country farmhouse decor — oh, and there’s ample parking, too. The pommes frites are a must, as are the lobster-filled ravioli, quiches, and fresh PEI mussels, which are all you can eat on Tuesday and Wednesday. The spacious covered patio overlooks the pétanque courts, which — should you find yourself stuffed — is a great way to let your food settle while you play so you can grab some dessert to go. The creme brulee, based on an original recipe from 1691, is a great sweet finish." - Brook Bolen
