Thanks for listening and thanks for supporting our friends and neighbors in the food-service industry!

I have been raving about the wine bar Frenchie in Boston’s South End since it opened and now am happy to report that people in Cambridge’s Porter Square will be able to get their own taste of owner Sandrine Rossi’s restaurant regality at the new Colette Wine Bistro!

Though we were part of the Frenchie fan base first (natch!), Frenchie was eventually named “Best French Restaurants in Boston” by another area media outlet and continues to garner raves from diners and industry types alike!

While taking over a restaurant is challenge enough, Sandrine did it after having Frenchie vandalized, giving birth, and getting COVID! Fortunately, the French- inspired foods at Frenchie (and now at Colette) offer comfort to everyone involved, thanks to the fact that Sandrine is bringing over Frenchie Chef Alex Falconer and General Manager Philippine Hamilton to oversee and prepare the menus for both venues. 

This means that fans on both locations will be able to enjoy such long-time favorites as Chef Falconer’s oyser du jour, escargot toast, steak tartare, steak frite, duck Magret, as well as his housemade pasta and his creamy take on the ever-popular French onion soup. Brunch fans will be able to enioy Chef’s smoked salmon plate, Croque Monsieur, eggs a la Provencale, duck confit hash, and Nutella crepe on either weekend day (or both!) at Frenchie as well. No matter when you come, the famed wine list and revolutionary Frosé are always avaialble!

So if you love authentic French food served with native love in a comfortable atmosphere, you now have two great choices.

Bon appetit!
