Enter a charming, corner grande dame, a storied bohemian artists' enclave, filled with casually chic locals enjoying warm service and exquisite fare. The beef tartare was the best I've had anywhere in the world, delicious salad, flavorful potatoes, crunchy baguette, pure Lyonnaise heaven. So good, in fact, I'm returning to this gem tomorrow. This time, I'll have more than three hours of sleep, won't pull the door when it says "push," won't trip up the step into the arms of the owner and won't forget my purse on the hook. Quelle desastre.
While waiting the long wait for the HoHo bus we ducked in here for lunch to find that the empty sets outside were a testament to the temperatures and not the food. Very busy inside there was luckily a table tucked in the corner available and we were soon ordering our dishes. While we were there the waiting line started, and the hubbub of conversations and service continued. The food was good, we didn't have time for dessert but it was a lu ky find on a wet and windy day.
Very friendly place. Come early if you want the outside. Good food!

Nearest first, then across the Rio Grande Valley.
