La Madeleine
It may be part of a self-service chain, but this place has its charms. Its French-country interior has a beamed ceiling, oak floors, a wood-burning stove, and maple hutches displaying crockery and pewter mugs. The range of affordable menu items here makes this a good choice for families with finicky eaters in tow.
La Madeleine opens early—6:30am daily—so come for breakfast to feast on fresh-baked croissants, Danish, scones, muffins, and brioches, or a heartier bacon-and-eggs plate. Throughout the day, there are salads, sandwiches (including a traditional croque monsieur), and hot dishes ranging from quiche and pizza to rotisserie chicken with Caesar salad. After 5pm, additional choices include pastas and specials such as beef tenders en merlot or herb-crusted pork tenderloin. Conclude with a fruit tart, or chocolate, vanilla, and praline triple-layer cheesecake with graham-cracker crust. Wine and beer are served.
