"This breezy, classic bistro may just be your next choice neighborhood haunt. Nestled amid the shops in Chinatown, the window-flanked space offers a full bar and dining room along with an inviting foyer and terrace. Clean, white walls are richly adorned with artwork and rows of wine bottles. The bar is of course beloved by solo diners, while groups should go for a table by the windows. Then get nibbling on a variety of cheese and charcuterie, before savoring such piquant mains as bouillabaisse Marseillaise with seafood aplenty, tomato, garlic, and herbs. A hunk of sourdough is great for sopping up its fragrant broth. If that sounds heavenly, just wait for the decadent pot de crème.A brief wine list, dominated by French labels, amplifies the experience." - Michelin Inspector
