Montmarte -- An Old Favorite -- 3 stars


One of our two favorite restaurants on the Hill is Montmarte. Its a comfortable French bistro where we can always find good food at a good price. The owners know who we are and welcome us warmly whenever we come. Its sort of a "Cheers" for French bistro food.

Last night was no exception. Katy started with a wonderful seasonal specialty -- mushrooms (4 different kinds) in a red wine sauce. She followed that with a well-prepared Cod that tasted just right. Paul had a nice frissee salad with warm goat cheese and apricots as garnish and then tried something new that he had never had before -- Frogs Legs! Tasted just like chicken. But the star of Paul's meal was the roots and vegatables that came with it -- beets, bok choy, carrots, etc. Wonderful taste in a garlic and parsley butter sauce.

Add a nice 1/2 bottle of a Bordeaux and the meal is complete. What more can you ask for than a nice welcome, a good meal and a reasonable price.
