"Chapeau is a proper neighborhood staple, opening in 1996 with dishes coming from executive chef Philippe Gardelle. The restaurant space saw a refresh in 2024, an update of the menu, and the addition of Andrew Gardelle (owners Philippe and Ellen Gardelle’s son) as chef de cuisine after working in spots like Spruce and the Village Pub. Classics such as the escargot and cassoulet remain on the menu, and new seasonal items will rotate in, such as a recent roasted tomato soup." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Eater Staff
