YUM! Stopped in for a great sandwich and delightful conversation with Kam. Definitely heading back for petit déjeuner!

It's a shame they have an ugly sign. Doesn't remind me at all of a French brasserie...

I think the name translates to small boat, but I don’t speak French and I have never been to France. I have been to Canada. Weren’t the Coneheads from France? “We come from France.” The croissant egg sandwich sounds good. I rode by today and saw Eddie Haskell’s sister Sandie dining next to the window, so it must be good.

Matt, did I insult your graphic design skills? I just think it is crazy that they spent 2 years in Europe researching and come back with this sort of cafeteria looking restaurant. Did they not see how all the patisseries and brasseries look in France? I admire the idea to open a French cafe but I just wished it was better executed.

I went there for lunch. I had the most amazing turkey and swiss panini. The Macarons and the Chocolates were also some of the best I have had in a LONG time. A pasta dish and a pizza passed my table, the ladies next to me said "they were really impressed". Plus, I have to admit, the staff was very friendly, that's hard to find in CDM. Overall I'd give this place a thumbs up.

I just spent $15 for a burnt latte ($2.65) a flavorless doughy scone ($3.00) and a mixed berry granola bowl ($7.95) consisting of Greek yogurt, blueberries ( only) and what I believe to be commercially made granola. There are better places in town to enjoy breakfast...

yes, the sign makes the place look very cheap and nothing like a French brasserie...it's actually quite the eyesore. but abotu the food, the main thing: I wasn't impressed with the quality. the macarons are simply the wrong color to be natural (and taste bla) and generally it's supermarket level, not patisserie. i am french, so have some comparison point. disappointed. :(
