Floor-to-ceiling windows flood La Parisienne Bistro with sunlight filtered through leafy trees, framing plates of smoked trout terrine or seared pork belly in a rustic, soothing glow. Chef Cedric Payne and owner Ali Benhamed worked to compose a menu teeming with the finest examples of French and Belgian cuisine: from seared duck breast with foie gras, to caramelized onion soup, to creamy risottos. Croque sandwiches and custom-made omelets ring in the morning with Old World elegance, while modern lounge music served with lobster in saffron veloute and felix escargots make for dinners that are both luxurious and laid back, like reclining on a beanbag throne.
