Classic French bistro fare gets a modern twist at this impressive neighborhood Andersonville boite. Though the menu changes seasonally, past menus have featured pork tenderloin with pumpernickel-raisin bread pudding and duck l'orange, served with grilled radicchio, duck confit and orange sauce.

The French-style weekend brunch menu is both sassy and savvy. Try the "gougers" (cheese puff stuffed with spinach and leek scrambled eggs, topped with asparagus puree and truffle oil) and "croque madam" (toasted ham and cheese sandwich topped with over easy eggs).
