| - The restaurant is small, but nicely decorated, parking is limited. There are around 12-15 small tables in a very small space. We have ordered ASSIETTE de CHARCUTERIE ($14) which consisted of meat cuts of supermarket quality, nothing special. We had TARTIFLETTE ($16) which was a mixture of white potatoes, supermarket quality bacon and white sauce (butter, flour, milk), covered with some cheese and baked in the oven. The dish was greasy, no thrills cooking, reminiscent of no famed French food and overpriced, as the ingredients were very cheap. Another dish we tried was SMOKED SALMON PLATE ($16). It seemed like they just opened supermarket quality smoked salmon package, placed it on the plate, put 5 red onion rings on it and declared it an entry for $16. No cooking invoved with this dish. In addition, they were low on bread, so we were expected to eat a big quantity of smoked salmon with 4 pieces of baguet. The rose wine was cheap too, but priced highly. My general impression was that they are trying to serve the cheapest possible ingredients at highest prices possible under the French bistro gimmick. Interestingly, there are no meat entrees in Chez Nanou... I would highly recommend to avoid this place and instead to go to near by French restaurants Sardines or Graze which deliver bold flavors, creative cooking at the same price point of $15 per plate and a great wine list.
