Le Fin Gourmet

Situated in an ancient stone cellar with a wood beamed ceiling, Le Fin Gourmet was founded by two young men who vowed to own a French restaurant while they were still in cooking school. Trained at some of the most famous restaurants in Paris, such as l' Arpege and Guy Savoy, David and Yohann, French favorites are cooked such as Roasted Rack of Lamb with Black Truffle Potatoes and Andouillette Sausage Tart. Prices are reasonable, and the home-made Tarte Tatin , apple tart, is a local's favorite.
