La Luncheonette

Behind nondescript concrete exterior lies a surprisingly upscale menu likely to burn a hole in your pocket. Traditional, easy breezy French elegance like skate, escargots, and a truly excellent cassoulet to warm the gut come wintertime. Game dishes shine, namely the rabbit with prunes and the venison with quince. Simultaneously romantic and unassuming, and therefore ideal for a date with someone you might actually consider bringing home to Mama.
