A Touch of France

Frommer's Review

One of our favorite restaurants in town is this most typical of all French bistros with its Art Nouveau decor, French posters, and waiters in long white aprons. The decor is that of a typical French brasserie, the kind you'd find alongside the road in Alsace, complete with tables spilling out onto the sidewalk during the summer months. A Touch of France is known for serving the freshest oysters in town. Bouillabaisse is also a specialty here, but that grand dish loses something in translation this far north. We often opt for the traditional salt-baked leg of duck, which is served in a savory garlic sauce. On other occasions we've enjoyed a classic calves' liver with mushrooms, spinach, and bacon. After your main course, a dessert cart is wheeled around, loaded with such temptations as crème brûlée or a delectable chocolate-and-almond cake.
