Le Pain et le Vin

The owners of this restaurant were once steeped in the Michelin-star milieu but now have decided to jettison the rigorous requirements of that system and concentrate on having some good, clean, tasty fun instead. "Bread and Wine" fits the bill perfectly -- and the bill won't be excessive either. The restaurant, in a converted house, looks out onto a garden. There's a terrace for alfresco dining in good weather. Whether the dish is chicken, fish, meat, or vegetables, the preparation concentrates on bringing out the natural taste, rather than smothering it with over-rich sauces. For interesting variations on common dishes, try the chicken ravioli with basil and Parmesan, or the lobster and shrimp lasagna with ginger sauce. Vegetarian dishes are available on request, and vegetable side dishes form a big part of the menu offerings.
