Editorial Review
Sexy fin de siècle dining in Moulin Rouge setting complete with leather and mohair banquettes. Oysters, lavender crème brulée and Ginger Rogers cocktails, though no actual absinthe or Nicole Kidman last time we checked. Slightly snooty waitstaff and pretty pricey drinks. But who cares when the warm polenta with marscarpone is so good? Some sidewalk tables, some homeless folks, so sit at your own discretion. Winning weekend brunch.
