Lovers of charcuterie and artfully presented crudités must make a visit to this charming classic French restaurant. It bills itself as “the revolutionary French restaurant” -- the name, which literally means "without knee-breeches" and was a term used to refer to French revolutionaries. Inside, it feels like you've stepped into a roadside tavern in 1788. I have a fetish for vintage textiles, and coveted the wall covering, a vintage fabric printed with 18th Century ladies and gentlemen.
The restaurant offers three prix fixe menus priced at $25, $32 and $35, all with several selections and including dessert. The meal begins with an enormous basket of whole raw vegetable and a massively impressive array of classic French smoked sausages, along with a ceramic pot of homemade pate, cornichons, bread and cold butter. Additional appetizers such as Coquille saint Jacques are available for those ambitious diners, our party was sufficiently challenged by this display. Chicken Cordon Blue was tender, with an oozing center. The Tilapia Almandine was moist and flavorful and pleased a diner with a restricted diet. The Roasted Chicken with Garlic Sauce was earthy and satisfying. There is excellent Cotes due Rhone by the glass and for dessert there is a choice of chocolate mousse or caramel flan included in the prix fixes, and a few other selections such as tarte tatin or crème brulee are also offered.
The service is excellent, and those who anticipate snobby French waiters will be disappointed.
Les Sans Culottes is a great value without the coupon but is a fantastic deal with the coupon, especially if there are two people in your party. Portions are large and we all brought home doggy bags that heated up most deliciously the next day. Les Sans Culottes only offers the $25 coupon, which is most understandable given the already low prices and generous portions. Reservations accepted.
Sans Culottes is awesome! My friend calls this place "Chop Chop" 'cause you have to chop up your whole vegetables and sausages! The only problem is, you will eat too many pieces of delicious chopped-up sausage and veggies and you will be full by the time your entree arrives!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, she also mentioned that they recently dropped out of the coupon program... is that true?
