BlackBook Lowdown

They’re not suggesting your ex is a saint, so put down the phone already. Urbane, funky, and French – this spot is the gem of 14th Street. Named for Antoine Saint-Exupery, the French fighter pilot and author of The Little Prince, St. Ex feels both like a neighborhood casual spot and the sort of stylish boite where even your busboy knows you’re wearing DVF. The aviation theme is subtle and done with panache, and every corner of the downstairs bar fills with serious dancing on the weekend. DJs are killer, the tables outside twinkle under holiday lights and the food isn’t bad, either.

Real food in a neighbourhood of posers

Posted by Zimboy on Friday, December 26, 2008

This is a reliable restaurant that will keep foodies aahing, and those in the group who don't have a refined palate will be comforted by the prices of a burger and fries.
