More slick and branded than our usual choice of restaurant, La Cuisine Restaurant surpassed our expectations. Located downhill from St Polycarpe’s big clock on rue St. Polycarpe, we stopped here on a rainy Monday when many restaurants are closed. As les parapluies (umbrellas) passed by, we were cozy inside enjoying an entré of perfect mussels, followed by a flavorful plât of white fish in a wine sauce. (I am still struggling to learn the American names of fish since they often differ from both the French and their British translations.)

Open daily, La Cuisine has a warm atmosphere, free wi-fi and good prices.
