The French Café

$$$$, Contemporary, City Center


Fodor's Review:

It's not really a café, and it's not strictly French, but don't let the inaccurate nomenclature put you off -- the food's great and considered by many to be the best in town. Simon Wright has a light touch that translates to clean, focused flavors, harmonizing in dishes such as pot-au-feu of organic chicken and crayfish with spring vegetables, lemon aïoli, and basil bouillon. The menu changes frequently, but you will always find the best ingredients in perfectly executed dishes. The wine list includes a few finds, and the staff can make well-informed recommendations.
