More information on Chez Queux
This is a throwback to a time when the only cuisine was French, and that meant chateaubriand for two, showy tableside preparations, and flaming desserts. All the usual suspects, that is, as remembered from birthdays and anniversaries in the '60s. These days, such a menu often results in tired renditions from chefs bored to tears with the weight of tradition. Not so here. A properly romantic mood is nurtured by the baronial setting of a mansion built for a mayor of the city in 1862. Deep paneling contrasts with exposed brick walls, fringed lampshades over the tables, wrought-iron chandeliers, weighty velvet drapes, a baby grand, and a two-sided gas fireplace that casts shadows over all. The waiters even wear tuxedos. The food is, no question, decidedly retro, but the execution is superb. Lobster bisque, Dover sole meunière, rack of lamb, sweetbreads with morels, and even crêpes suzette are better than those of a certain age will recall and will be a revelation to those too young to remember the Kennedy administration. A summer dining terrace adds views of the Vieux-Port to the experience. In short, it's a place to fire a new relationship or cement an old one.
