Visit takes 1-3 hours depending on your patience with examining all artwork. Michelangelo's masterpiece in final hall, in almost pitch dark, hundreds of people - flashlights blitzing away at the ceili
Sit up at the bar, order steak frites with one of the many Belgium beers to choose from. Both an elegant and mellow meal. Quality.
Pretty good espresso drinks, but come here for a baguette sandwich at lunch time. Show up early or call ahead because it gets really busy at 12.
Try the canelés by the cashier.. Hidden beneath the dark, caramelized exterior, is a soft, spongey and creamy sweet interior..
Grab a dozen of their homemade frozen croissants for buttery, flaky pastries from your oven in the morning.

Taste a flight of three sakes for $5, then pick up a bottle of their Junmai Nama Genshu sake for an evening of take out sushi.
The decor is quiet and minimalist, but the West Coast cuisine never fails to impress. If John is in the house, he’ll stop by and say hello himself!
It’s never too early for champagne & oysters - so we love the half shell special for weekend brunch: a dozen oysters for $12.

Our choice is "Mermaid's Choice": burnt caramel, fleur de sel, hint of rosemary.
It surprised me too, but the best of the hand-crafted chocolate bars, by far, is: Simply Charming (Fig and Balsamic Vinegar in Dark Chocolate Ganache). Seriously. You must try it. 続きを読む
Amazingly fresh bread, delicious escargots and meaty mussels. A hidden gem! 続きを読む
I recommend the Lyon Breakfast. It is very tasty and the portioning is very generous.
Pie & Chai. Winning combo. All locally produced and organic ingredients.
Japanese Izakaya has small plates (similar to tapas) and is a pretty fun experience if you've never been to one. This place does it well.
