Roux

Roux is a family-owned French bistro in the Park Avenue district, open since 2015 and, as CITY Magazine put it, working in a French tradition that is a rarity in Rochester. The magazine's feature covered a classical approach built on dishes like chicken tagine and a deep absinthe list, and its staff picks name the room a Park Avenue mainstay for steak au poivre and escargots. Order the steak au poivre, or the chicken tagine when it appears.

Roux is a family-owned French bistro in the Park Avenue district with an active cocktail program. CITY Magazine's feature on the city's coziest cocktails singled out its seasonal Alpine Divide, a house signature. Come for a drink at the bar before dinner, and order the Alpine Divide when it is on the seasonal list.
