Description:

In the early 70s two brothers Walter and Gaston moved to Carmel.

Walter was a painter & photographer, Gaston, a college professor.

One day their sister Denise and her friend Michel came up for a visit from Southern California. The conversation turned to the great country restaurants of Europe we all remembered where we enjoying great meals in a casual atmosphere with good conversation, a good bottle of wine and a great cup of espresso. As we talked we were getting hungry and a bit homesick for such an experience. At that time Carmel restaurants were mostly steak houses, chain coffee shops or outdated "old world" restaurants. Michel (who was a chef in Europe) suggested a unique concept for a small bistro that would only serve one meal a night, family style.

Type of Meals Served:

Our focus is on the rustic, regional cuisine of France and Italy.

We revisit traditional fare of those regions of Europe that are influenced by the healthy and Mediterranean diet. Because of our Belgian background we also include tasty traditional dishes such as "moules frites", "waterzoii" and great Belgian desserts.
