la cantine de quentin

Most people speak of our pallid economy as a negative. Always the optimist, I can think of an upside. As a response to the economic downturn, young, clever chefs are opening small neighborhood bistros with a focus on high-quality food but with economical prices. This is clearly illustrated at La Cantine de Quentin. Here you get top-shelf caliber, but the price tag of buck-night at your local sports bar. Daily lunch menus of hearty, deftly prepared dishes are served in a charming wine shop meets epicerie environment. And no drunk guys yelling at big-screen TVs. Score!
