Bistro St. Germaine is a little bit of Paris is so many ways. We had a cozy table by the window looking out on people walking by. If they had been sipping coffee and munching on croissants, all the better.

The menu was so very French. What could be more French than beef bourguignon. We ordered the appetizer size because we already had our eyes on dessert. Add a little bubbly and some crusty bread, and we were pretty much in heaven.

Crepe Citron with fresh lemon juice, sugar and butter……..it was amazing how something so simple could taste so delicious. But it is bad form to lick the plate!

A new addition to Bistro St. Germaine is their Gourmet Market in a space adjoining the restaurant. It was like walking into another world filled with everything French – fine wines, champagnes, cheeses, biscuits, butters, chocolates, candies, honey and kitchen gadgets galore! We spent in here almost what we spent for lunch (not really, but that sounds good).

The Other Thing – I love food, and it is always fun to discover some place new to enjoy. Thanks Julie for suggesting Bistro St. Germaine.
