An excerpt from a longer review...
"In France, the greatest bistros are magnetic because they produce consistent food, and Le Baratin is no exception. But above and beyond the food, the service was worthy of at least one Michelin star. Our French-accented server was the definition of lovely. She was engaged, and provided a curated list of her favourite spots for my upcoming trip to France.
L'assiette de charcuterie ($18) was the perfect way to start our meal. The savory spread of duck rillettes, pâté, proscuitto and salami was made for sharing. The duck rillettes were a highlight, and it was evident that the duck legs had prepared in a traditional way: dry-brined and braised in aromatic stock, then finely shredded and mixed with duck fat. It was a gourmet combination with the baguette."
