"Here’s the secret about Le French’s brunch: the best thing on the menu isn’t French. Don’t get us wrong, we love the omelets and crepes, but the Senegalese fried chicken yassa sandwich, rich with lemon, caramelized onions, vinegar, and dijon, is just that good. It’s back to French on the vibe, though, where the centerpiece black marble bar and floor-to-ceiling wine wall exude the sort of sophistication we assign to Parisians. Sip a glass of sparkling wine filled with bouncy cocktail pearls, and toast the existence of bouncy cocktail pearls." - Allyson Reedy
"Artsy sleekness meets modern comfort in the interior design of this 9+CO bistro right next to a movie theater — a winning combination for a cosmopolitan date night (or date brunch or lunch, for that matter). And the same goes for the menu: While it’s built on classic French fare, occasional Senegalese twists representing the owners’ heritage add a touch of excitement to welcome familiarity." - Ruth Tobias
"This jazzy bistro in the 9+CO development builds its brunch menu around French classics — croques madames, crepes Suzette, moules frites — while adding some Senegalese flair in honor of the owners’ heritage: Think Brie and baobab preserves or chicken yassa on brioche washed down with the hibiscus-infused tequila cocktail called Le Bissap." - Ruth Tobias
"Here’s something else a little different for the holiday: This French-Senegalese charmer is preparing poulet roti with tarragon sauce for takeout, along with French onion soup, pumpkin cheesecake, and more. Click here to order by November 19." - Ruth Tobias
"Run by two French-Senegalese sisters, this airy cafe serves a full menu all day that reflects both sides of their heritage — fried tuna pies and chicken yassa with French toast on one hand, traditional boulangerie items and dainty confections such as pumpkin madeleines and lemon tartlets on the other." - Eater Staff
