Ever-changing, tasty menu |
106 North Sixth Street (corner of Main and Sixth streets) Boise, ID 83702 United States +1 208 343 8180 |
A downtown mainstay, this restaurant (French for "The Red Chicken") takes a chapter out of the French sidewalk cafe. However, its food selection isn't strictly European. The menu, which also caters to vegetarians and changes each month, has Creole, African, French and Southwestern influences. On Saturday, sleep in and then head down for brunch, which features quiches, omelets, a variety of fruits and pastries, as well as gourmet coffees. Outdoor seating is scarce, but well worth it if you can claim a chair. Review © 2007, Wcities |
