Le Garage
$$$-$$$$, Eclectic, Museum District
Fodor's Review:
This former garage is now a brasserie awash with red-plush seating and kaleidoscopically mirrored walls -- handy for local glitterati who like to see and be seen. This is the home of the celebrity "Crazy Chef" Joop Braakhekke, whose busy schedule of TV appearances necessitates his leaving his kitchen in other -- very capable -- hands. The food is invariably excellent and uses French haute cuisine as its starting point. Particularly sublime is the Flemish hennepotje, a starter pâté of chicken, snails, and rabbit, and the Moroccan pastilla d'anguille, which seals a mélange of duck liver and eel in a thin pastry dough. Although champagnes, fine wines, and caviar accent the essential poshness of it all, the daily set lunch menu is quite reasonably priced.
