"Operating since the 17th century and recently renovated by owners who refresh historic haunts, this neighborhood institution blends its long history with light-filled, updated interiors that still feature a wood bar, a decorative mosaic floor spelling out the venue’s old name, and a white sheep statue. The décor nods to nearby landmarks with equestrian prints and mounted tennis rackets, while the cuisine leans on Normandy comfort classics — think herring and potatoes, veal in a cream sauce, and generous portions of moules frites." - Mary Winston Nicklin
