Cafe Rolle
Since 2002, Cafe Rolle's mission has been to provide exciting, authentic French gourmet food, as well as private cooking classes conducted in the comfort of your own home. This charming cafe/deli features classically French dishes using Chef William Rolle's family recipes from Lyon, France. For lunch, try the charcuterie plate of French duck and chicken pates with ham on a spring mix, or the Croque Brie Curry Monsieur sandwich made with Herbes de Provence ham, Brie, melted Gruyere and curry mayo sauce. For dinner you might choose a decadent and authentic Foie Gras served with French bread, followed by Crevettes aux Lentilles, marinated black tiger prawns served on a bed of warm lentil salad. Be sure to leave room for the featured Crème Brulee of the day.
