Parisian Patio and Le Bar on El PaseoNew and returning patrons of Cafe des Beaux-Arts have relished the first season of Le Bar that has added a European elegance to this charming French patio bistro overlooking El Paseo at Larkspur Lane. With live jazz on Wednesday and Friday evenings and a tantalizing Small Bites menu, Cafe des Beaux- Arts is the perfect place to gather for the most sophisticated clientele. The curved, covered patio extends comfortable seating and is the ideal spot from which to people-watch on El Paseo. Diners can choose from delectable appetizers, salads, light dinners and vegetarian dishes as well as Cafe des Beaux- Arts’ signature Bouillabaisse, Duck à l’ orange and braised short ribs Bourguignonne. Many selections are offered as both half and full plates for those wanting a smaller meal or for the adventurous epicureans that like to sample several dishes. A studied variety of French and California wines has been selected to complement your meal. For lunch, choose among exquisite salads, sandwiches, pastas and crêpes — all with a Mediterranean French touch — and specialties such as coq au vin and quiche Lorraine. With specialties like homemade French crêpes, a vegetable and cheese frittata, and mouthwatering Belgian waffles, you don’t want to miss breakfast here. Open for breakfast Friday through Monday and for lunch and dinner daily. Children’s menu offered. Cafe des Beaux-Arts also accommodates private parties.
