Fodor's Expert Review The Cottage

Regarded by locals as one of the best special-occasion dining venues in the area, this restaurant in a 1909 cottage has been recently reimagined as a French farmhouse, with intimate dining rooms decorated with vintage dinnerware and a wall-to-wall map of Paris circa 1700. The menu includes French classics like duck confit and steak frites; desserts like oeufs à la neige (meringue cookies with crème anglaise and a caramel-cognac sauce) are the stuff of a Francophile's dreams.
