I heard they have a very popular happy hour with flight of wines, but we liked the quite, peaceful brunch time. Our water was filled at all time, and we did have a nice, relaxing time there. They were nice and mostly left us alone until we needed something, allowing us to enjoy a relaxing brunch. The staffs were all French, which really helped enhanced our French dining experience. It was spacious and clean, much appreciated. They have a nice sized bathroom all the way in the back, with black tiles and hint of red, of course. And what a lovely way they brought it out, inside an old French book! I like the unusual and unique things they have going on there, with the book, interior decoration, especially the entrance that almost look like a sail on a boat.

The only thing was that it was quite oily, so I had the bowl tilted on one side, allowing the oil to drizzle away from the ravioli.Īfter the meal, full and satisfied, we asked for the check. I can see the reason why this dish is one of their customer favorites. It was another level of comforting dish, steaming hot with soft, slightly chewy pasta filled with wonderful cheese explosions. Afterwords, I could see it was just the right size. However, since it was packed with ravioli pasta and cheese, it was SUPER filling. When it arrived, I was a bit disappointed with the small portion. The Gratin was a “specialty of Valence in southern France” and was made of wheat flour stuffed with Comtè & cottage cheese. It was exactly what we wanted, full of flavor and generous portion. The fries were really addicting, soft and potato-y. It was not fishy at all, cooked just right. The mussels were very flavorful, after soaking up the white wine and decadent soup. The Moules frites came with mussels steamed with white wine, cream, shallots, leeks, garlic, served with French fries.

They also brought us a complimentary bag of baguette, which was pretty cool and cute.įor the main meal, we ordered Moules frites ($18) and Gratin de Ravioles du Royans ($14). It had just the right amount of saltiness to it, and cheese was gooey goodness. It was cheesy, steaming hot, and each spoonful was so comforting. It was not a big bowl but certainly big in flavor. We started off with Onion Soup Gratinée ($8.00) to share. We were there for a weekend brunch, excited to try some French dishes. The bright red and white was used throughout the interior, including red and white lit wine bottles, floating on the wall. It had white cloth loosely hanging on the black-colored ceiling, with bright red bar. It is such a cute, strange, adorable and weird story and characters! Well, I found a restaurant called Amélie, which is a modern wine bar/lounge with French flair. One of the most interesting movies I’ve watched is called Amélie.
