Chanterelle
This superbly French restaurant offers both great quality food and service. It is one of the lesser fussy top restaurants which does not equate its food quality and dining accessibility with status. Try the grilled seafood sausage which is an all time favorite. Also, if available (for the menu changes frequently) try a duck dish.
