Cafe Sauvage

A Parisian bistro brought to us by a husband-and-wife team born and raised in France? Cue the stampede of local Francophiles. Antoine and Anaïs Lambert cut their teeth at local spots like Petit Robert, Frenchie, and Colette Wine Bistro before opening their first restaurant in the former Hsin Hsin Cafe space. Quiches and steak frites are absolutely represented, but don’t expect a strictly old-school menu. Instead, get excited about dishes that feature Vietnamese and North African influences: banh mi, roast chicken with fried plantains, and a crepe with ras al hanout and piri piri sauce. The space is open for breakfast, brunch, and dinner and has finally obtained its liquor license, which means cocktails, beer, and beautiful wines by the glass.

This top area French restaurant is making life easy—and affordable—this Thanksgiving. The restaurant is offering a takeout apple cider-brined turkey that comes with a rosemary compound butter; sides include fried Brussels sprouts, plantains, sweet potato puree, mac ‘n cheese, mint cranberry sauce, and signature gravy. Add a pecan pie for thirty bucks to make it a festive eve.

A multicultural Parisian bistro brought to us by a husband-and-wife team born and raised in France—and they do brunch? Cue the stampede of local Francophiles. Croques madames and omelets are absolutely represented, and things from there only get more exciting: banh mis, duck eggs Benedict with caraway hollandaise, crispy chicken sandwiches, Nutella crepes. Absolutely start with Viennoiseries cakes, and if some truffle fries happen to make it to your table, so be it.

A multicultural Parisian bistro brought to us by a husband-and-wife team born and raised in France? Cue the stampede of local Francophiles. Antoine and Anaïs Lambert cut their teeth at local spots like Petit Robert, Frenchie, and Colette Wine Bistro before opening their first restaurant last year in the former Hsin Hsin Cafe space. Classics like quiche and steak frites are absolutely represented, but get truly excited for dishes that feature Vietnamese and North African influences: banh mi, roast chicken with fried plantains, and lemon sole with harissa and Tunisian couscous. The space is open for breakfast, brunch, and dinner and is oh-so-close to obtaining its liquor license.
