Toulouse Cafe and Bar

This French bistro mini-chain does a remarkable job of emulating Parisian cafes with its sidewalk cane-back chairs, warmly lit atmosphere and surprising old world appeal—not to mention a length wine list. This won’t be a light evening; the foie gras, duck confit, and dover sole meuniere (along with a smattering of decadent desserts) aren’t to be missed. And for the aficionado, the special is half off French wine on Wednesday.
