Description:
This charming little Duboce Triangle neighborhood restaurant's name (ardoise means "chalk" in French ) is a reference to the daily menus displayed on chalkboards outside Parisian bistros -- and Chef and owner Thierry Clement certainly knows his way around classic French bistro fare. You'll find standard appetizers like escargot, butter lettuce with delicate and sweet anchovies, and charcuterie platters. Main courses include steak frites, a rich duck leg confit, and creamy mushroom risotto. Specials change daily dependent upon what's locally available (and the chef's whim) and have included veal with sweet breads (a personal favorite), roasted salmon, and other seafood. The selective wine list is outstanding, highlighting the best affordable French (white Bordeauxs and offbeat Languedocs), Californian (smart pinot noirs and not-too-buttery chardonnays) and sparkling wines from around the globe. To really feel French for an evening, sit at the zinc bar. Desserts are merely passable.

The most amazing French restuarant I've eaten at, hands down.

L'ardoise was an absolutely amazing experience, we ate there twice in 2 weeks. Make sure you get a Floating Island for desert. The Scallops were some of the best I've ever...
