French bistro with duck confit, lamb & romantic ambiance

























"At first glance, Le Gigot transports guests to a romantic and inviting little bistro—the kind you’d only find in La Ville-Lumière. The service exceeds expectations with uncharacteristic warmth that brings a welcoming vibe to the nostalgic dining room. Tasty renditions of classic bistro fare dominate the menu, so expect the cooking to be familiar and pleasing. The petit bouillabaisse begins as a saffron fish broth with a red-peppery North African accent to elevate the traditional fish and seafood dish. Their cassoulet is a beloved Toulousaine version with duck confit, bacon, cannellini beans, herbs and luscious pork. Finally, apple tarte tatin, served warm with a dollop of crème fraîche and fresh blueberries, is a perfect closer." - Michelin Inspector

"Modeled after a classic French bistro, you can't help but feel like you're in Paris here. When you try the food—light, fluffy crab cakes, delectable bouillabaisse—you'll feel truly transported. This is a great place for brunch. They take American Express or cash, only."
