Bagatelle

Named after the original owner’s home district in Paris, this well-established French-run place has been in the family for three generations. In honor of his grandmother, the original cook, new blood Mr. Blanc-Collomb can’t bring himself to delete anything from his twirly handwritten menu, so he only adds to it. Old-fashioned plates include terrine, duck with apples, and on Friday, couscous. The attractive vine-covered patio drips with grapes and is illuminated by little lights at night; sprinklers in July and August keep things fresh. Indoors, two log fires keep you warm the rest of the year.
