Butcher, wine bar and grab-and-go sandwich spot, this little hideaway is much more than a romantic resto. But it is that, and to the nines. Inspired by neighbourhood butchers in Paris, locally sourced meats are cut on the regular and you can enjoy French-inspired classics including oysters, charcuterie, French cheese, steak frites, great wine and cold beer any day of the week.

There’s classic, moody romance and then there’s flirty, fiery, sexy fun. This spot serves up the latter, and it’s just as satisfying. The perfect destination to hit as the weather warms, this eatery’s back patio is prime space for sharing tacos, sipping cocktails and coyly touching your date’s arm when their joke lands just right. Enjoy the care-free feel of vacation without the stress of a flight.
