great and delicious??

Warm and cozy restaurant with lovely decor and delicious food

Upscale restaurant inside the HEC building

This place is cute, the food is very simple and they carry a very very limited menu... the waiter despite being very nice seemed... completly overwhelmed by the 4 clients in the restaurant. This is more like an hybride between a school cafeteria and arestaurant. Read more

Nice, classy, delicious, and fast!

I've been to a number of very good restaurants lately, but Le Cercle is one of the few that I felt compelled to return to. The... menu is a funny combination of what they call "tapas" and modern takes on French classics, but it works. Oh, does it work. Thefrogs legs in my picture were fantastic, crispy outside, tangy sauce, succulent meat. They also have "ris de veau" (sweetbreads)done about as well as they can be. My wife's "tapas" was a lot heavier than that word usually implies, with superbly fattysausage. I had "boudin noir" (blood sausage) that was in the best French bistro style, light in texture but rich in flavor. Theingredient-driven dishes, such as beet salad with farm cheese and hazelnuts, are also excellent. To top it off, prices arereally low. I think the lunch "table d'hôte" (prix fixe) menu was $25, which is a steal for food at this level. My only warningis that vegetarians may have trouble finding something on the short menu; there's usually one appetizer and one main, but that'sit. Wine service is outstanding, though expensive. I loved the tasting of two "sans soufre" (no sulphur dioxide added) wines,which included the Christian Ducroux Regnié (from one of the "crus" of Beaujolais). Clocking in at 12% alcohol, it was light asa feather but packed with crystalline intensity. They bring the bottle to your table, a touch that restaurants at twice thisprice often can't seem to manage. I can also highly recommend the cider, on draft. Again, delicate in texture but robust inflavor. I can see coming here for drinks alone. One comment, I wouldn't lump the restaurant in with the Le Cercle Spectacle, theclub next door. It's not like the comedy shows are taking place in the restaurant space. We're not French speakers, but gotalong really well with the staff, who hustle to provide good service. Read more
