Carlos and his wife, Frederique, took on a challenge converting what was once a bullfighting-themed tavern into a Parisian bistro. Though some elements, such as the long brass copper bar, hint at its castizo ("authentic," as in old and traditional) origins, there's much that's truly French here, including the service, the wine, and the cocktails. Specialties include brie croquetas (in a bread-crumb crust and deep fried), the escargots, the assortment of oysters, and the chateaubriand steak with butter, tarragon, and vinegar.
