    Vern’s

    With a rustic hearth, cozy tables, and glass doors that open onto the sidewalk, this sunny Cannonborough-Elliotborough corner feels more Left Bank than Holy City.

  • Ville Sainte Bistro

    Parisian-born chef Carole Robert creates classic French dishes with a dogmatic focus on ingredients, hand-selecting each day’s meats, seafood, and produce, then combining them with imported specialties, like the garlic paste that flavors the splendid escargot or rare seasonal cheese to transforms into fondue.
