| - La Palette great food and chic atmosphere.
I have probably been to La Palette 4 or 5 times now and it has yet to disappoint. The food and service have always been excellent. La Palette is the type of place where you can easily spend the entire night chatting, sipping wine, laughing, and just purely enjoying the act of eating with others.
I have seen others comparing La Palette and Le Select. Yes they are both french restaurants, but I think beyond that the comparisons pretty much stop. The style of food at La Palette is much more country/rustic french, while Le Select is much more akin to Parisian cuisine (or at least my experience of Parisian cuisine), which is much more refined. Both offer highly accomplished food, but by no means could dishes from one be confused with dishes from the other.
Furthermore, the atmospheres of these two restaurants could not be more different. La Palette is small, dark, and eclectic (in a very charming, comforting sort of way). Le Select is open, bright, and while not formal, it certainly can't be mistaken for a casual restaurant.
So while both restaurants are french and in the same neighbourhood they offer very different experiences. Both are certainly worth checking out, but currently given the choice, I would choose La Palette.
