Convivial

"A French bistro known for dishes like quiche lorraine and boeuf Bourguignon, closing due to financial challenges." - Tierney Plumb

"Chef Cedric Maupiller's festive, French-American restaurant serves everything from gourmet cheeseburgers to fried chicken "coq au vin." Go for: A sit-down dinnerDistance from CC: 0.5 miles" - Tim Ebner

"Chef Cedric Maupillier’s resident French bistro now runs happy hour during the work week from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. That’s when a cheese burger with fries costs $11 and elegant desserts are $9." - Tierney Plumb

"Come here for their $65 dinner menu filled with shareable dishes." - MICHELIN Guide

"Truth be told, Convivial excels in all areas. It scores major points for its location in the hip Shaw neighborhood; ranks high on style with its clean, rustic-modern aesthetic; and boasts warm, compelling service. Of course, the real reason diners keep coming back to this energetic spot is most certainly for the food: bold and playful takes on the tried-and-true that are made for sharing. Is there a secret to the popular Franco-Gallic-American menu? If anyone knows, it is Chef/owner Cedric Maupillier and his passionate team. Tuck in to a savory classic—perhaps gnocchi à la parisienne aux légumes printaniers—but save room for sweet treats like a spot-on soufflé, Île flottante or galette des rois." - Michelin Inspector
