"If you don’t want to drop Atelier Crenn money, but still want to feel like you’re not in the neighborhood anymore, go to Gamine for dinner. This quiet French place on Union usually has a minimal wait, and they serve food like mussels, steak frites, and French onion soup that tests the limits of maybe having too much cheese. It’s a great spot for brunch or dinner, especially on a warm night when you can sit out front." - taylor abrams, will kamensky
