Garcia & Rodrigues

Frommer's Review

Garcia & Rodrigues was once a veritable food megacomplex, with a deli, bakery, cafe, patisserie, ice-cream parlor, fine dining and wine bar, but things have since been restructured and simplified. There is no longer a Garcia nor a Rodrigues in the enterprise, and what remains is an excellent bistro with a simple menu and an outstanding bakery and cafe. Open daily from 8am, the cafe serves up an excellent breakfast, a great selection of sandwiches, cheese plates, and some of the finest baked goods in town. The bistro opens at noon (1pm on weekends) and offers risottos, pasta, grilled steak, and seafood, including a wonderful grilled salmon in orange-saffron sauce. You can also put a great spread together by ordering various appetizers such as the carpaccio, the bruschetta with brie, honey, and chutney and a cold-cut or pâté plate, served with a basket of freshly baked bread. Luckily the wine cellar (or rather attic) remains; the maitre d' will happily help you choose an appropriate bottle.
