Au Rendez-Vous Bistro (Permanently Closed)

For all the upscale, high-falutin&#146; French places in town, our favorite is the decidedly homey AU RENDEZ VOUS, tucked into a residential neighborhood in Brookhaven. The cash-only, Vietnamese-owned restaurant serves exactly the kind of food you&#146;d find in a real working-class French neighborhood &#150; traditional recipes cooked with love. You won&#146;t go wrong with any of the crepe appetizers, or rich, hearty meat entrees (try the rabbit cooked with red wine). The diminutive prices and feeling of eating in someone&#146;s jumbled living room only add to the appeal. 1328 Windsor Parkway. 404-343-4983. less...

Joel

French restaurants come in many guises, from hard-working holes-in-the-wall serving simple delights to tile-floored brasseries to "haute cuisine" palaces with dozens of servers and hushed surroundings. JOEL falls in the latter category, though the food has a warmth that belies the splashy surroundings. Chef Joel Antunes is cooking with focus and maturity these days. His signature meat dishes like beef bordelaise are rich and sultry, and his Asian fillips - like crab cake in curry cream - are appropriately light-handed. Dessert will have you melting like the puddle of warm chocolate you're spooning up from your plate at lightening speed. P.S. - love those waterfall faucets in the bathrooms.
