Editorial Review
Zen and French in the same sentence? Likely stage set for The Cure's album "Bloodflowers". Red without being too red—red wine bottles as architecture, twinkling red tealights, red meat. White plates frame braised handiwork; ingenious chef drip drops reductions with Japanese brush strokes. Wild boar prosciutto, convincing steak frites, must-try desserts. Art of drinking: vintage cocktails, real calvados, chilled Badoit, hand-picked wine flights. Well-mannered families in Lacoste, couples leaning inward. Order in French if you like.
