Chef Antoine has won numerous accolades for his dishes, which include using up every part of the chicken in true French style (expect spiced hearts, gizzards and more). The atmosphere is one of an up-market restaurant fused with a bustling café, but it appears to work rather well, with local crowds and fervent foodies alike.
