Paradou

Editorial Review

Provençal-inspired bistro à vin with intimate dining room and one of the cozier back gardens around. Radishes with butter and salt are a nice freebie at the bar, followed by delicious crepes and tartines. Frenchified antipasto with charcuterie, päté, and baby veggies. Bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin super fun, if something less than kosher. Name means "paradise," which compared to the über-sceney B&T body-glitter purgatory that throbs incessantly just outside, seems perfectly logical.
