Find one of the best breakfasts in town here: strong press coffee, flaky croissants, and the best French toast in the city. You’ll be in good company—this big room expedites a long menu, for the most part expertly and with a Gallic hug. Antipasti ($5 each) include a fine pissaladière of caramelized onions, olives, and anchovies, and grilled squid in lemon-chili vinaigrette. Huge oyster list, loup de mer—even côte de boeuf for the very afraid. The fish soup ($8) sings “La Marseillaise” in a room that has found an elegant groove. And the people-watching from the expansive patio is second to none—observe the beautiful Yaletowners (and their little dogs, too) in their natural environment.
