Resto Leon: If you’re dreaming of an afternoon at a quaint Parisian café, but there isn’t a chance in hell that you’ll be getting any vacation time soon, this French bistro is for you. Out front, genuine Europeans (bred specifically to leisurely smoke and drink coffee, not the substandard American versions that thrive in these parts) nibble on French Provencal cuisine and smoke, smoke, smoke. Inside, the vibe is just as charming with a kitschy, cluttered space, friendly staff, and relaxed atmosphere. Bon vivants of all nationalities lounge at the bar or small tables and enjoy the typical steak and seafood bistro fare or the weekend brunch (both are well-priced for the already-cheap American dollar). So grab an exchange student and some Gauloises and get ready for an afternoon of ex-patriotism. |
