Bistro Vendôme

Named after an 18th-century Parisian square, Bistro Vendôme is designed to resemble an authentic French restaurant. Housed inside the red-brick Sussex building, which dates from the 1880’s, the high-ceilinged dining room has pale yellow walls, dark wood furniture, and large windows, as well as an adjacent outdoor patio. In addition to dinner classics such as steak frites, the restaurant also serves brunch dishes like the pain perdu aux amande (almond French toast) with milk “jam,” coffee syrup, and brûléed banana. The exclusively French wine list has more than 60 options, including 15 by the glass.
