Fodor's Expert Review L'Ardoise

Sit at a shaded communal table at this lively, modern gastropub/wine bar in St-Jean's Villa Creole shopping enclave any time of the day. Come for first-rate sharing platters of charcuterie, pâté, artisanal cheeses, and sweet or savory crepes. The pizza seems to be on everyone's list as well. At night many specials are listed on the blackboard. It's a superb spot for people-watching.
