Bistrot D'Oc

Frommer's Review

Grab your best girl or guy and duck in here at lunch to sit at a table set against the storefront window. Watch busloads of tourists waiting in line to enter Ford's Theater across the street, before turning your attention to the meal: croque-monsieur, the potage parisien (potato and leek soup with Gruyère and croutons), or perhaps a salad of avocado, beets, and celeriac rémoulade. As you sup, the chef might emerge from the kitchen to chat French with regulars, or to greet friends stopping in to say hello. From time to time, the place may erupt in more French, much commotion, and many kisses. The bartender will go out for a smoke and you'll watch him from your window perch, as you and your companion continue to sit there, enjoying each other's company and the Frenchness of the restaurant, with its orangey red-washed walls and Provençal tablecloths. If you're here at dinner, choose the hanger steak and pommes frites, mussels in cream sauce, bouillabaisse, or just about anything on this menu representing the tastes of Languedoc, in southwestern France. An extensive wine list includes selections from the Languedoc region.
