My favorite place to relax and catch up with friends. You can't beat the authentic French atmosphere of this gem, or the baguette. Rumor has it that the yeast was smuggled back from Paris, and it is definitely the best baguette you'll find in all of Omaha. Small plates and full entrees plus an extensive wine list and great desserts. You can shop for your own bottle from the shelves on the walls, or pick something from the menu. Truly the best!
