Le Suprême · Downtown
Le Suprême channels the rhythm of a French brasserie through oysters, onion soup, steak frites, and carefully constructed pastries. The expansive downtown room works from breakfast through dinner, with a long zinc bar and attentive service giving each part of the day its own pace.
Bar Pigalle · Brush Park
Bar Pigalle pairs a concise French influenced menu with one of Brush Park's most polished cocktail programs. Seasonal plates, careful seafood preparations, and thoughtful sauces suit the intimate room, while the bar gives diners a natural way to approach the restaurant for a drink and a few dishes.
Cuisine · New Center
Cuisine occupies a converted New Center mansion near the Fisher Theatre, serving French American dishes in a series of elegant dining rooms. The menu emphasizes composed seafood, meat, and seasonal vegetable plates, making the restaurant particularly suited to a measured dinner before or after a performance.
