Chez Philippe

Chez Philippe Review

Though French often connotes fancy, this laid-back restaurant is all about enjoying hearty food at comfortable prices. You enter through a small shop that sells fresh breads and homemade paté to a dining room that evokes a country home, or a popular covered terrace edged with greenery and stacked wood for the oven. The owner is from Alsace, so in addition to French standards such as duck in orange sauce and chicken cordon bleu, he offers choucroute (homemade sauerkraut with sausages and pork). Another house specialty is trucha al horno (baked trout). The place also serves excellent pizza, and has a large selection of European beers.
