Bastille Day comes but once a year, so why not slap on a beret, and pretend you're French-- if just to have an excuse to gorge yourself on some delicious French food, not to mention some wine. Toasting to "Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité" is optional.

Ah, Bizou my perennial favorite. This restaurant is the king of quality control. I’ve been coming here for years and years and the food is always excellent— their baked mushrooms and vegetable strudel are serious deliciousness. Not to mention the fact that they haven’t seemed to have raised their prices in the past 5 years. So you better come armed with a reservation because in times like these Bizou is more popular than ever. Add in the fact that corkage is only $2 per bottle and you’ll find yourself waiting for a table even if you have a reservation. (And yes, I speak from personal experience.)
I’ve been going to this restaurant longer than I can remember, and it’s always packed without fail— you have to wait even when you have a reservation! But this really attests to Bizou’s quality. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been here, and I’ve never had a bad meal here, EVER. My fave? The baked mushrooms stuffed with chicken and spinach mousse in a balsamic sauce.
