Café du Clocher Penché

Open since 2000, the development of this unpretentious neighborhood bistro parallels the polishing up the overall neighborhood has seen during the same period. With its caramel-toned woods, tall ceilings, and walls serving as gallery space for local artists, Clocher Penché maintains a laid-back European sophistication. A huge wine list features nearly 200 choices, with three quarters of the bottles organic or "biodynamic"; about a dozen wines are sold by the glass. The short menu changes regularly and can include duck confit and wild boar. A terrific rich blood sausage (boudin noir) is served on a delicate pastry bed with caramelized onions and yellow beets. The menu touts that nearly everything is sourced locally. Service reflects the food -- amiable and without flourishes.
