Though it opened in 2007, this handsome neighborhood boite is an old soul. The menu is classic French with a touch of Asian influence, offering pate, escargots, salad Lyonnaise, tournedos de boeuf and roasted duck breast and leg confit with Rouennaise sauce. The crowd here skews a bit older but it's still lively, and the front bar is always bustling. For lighter cafe fare during the day and carryout options, check out The Brasserie's Market next door.
