Voila!

The CD, Madrona & Madison Park


This cozy Gallic bistro has an old French flag in the window that looks like it got left behind by some romantic revolutionaries. Half the deal here is in creating an exotic Euro-flavored atmosphere that is as fine honed as the food. The menu's plats consist of well-known French standards from pâté and pork chops to escargot.
