Le Gavroche is a fine dining restaurant in downtown and somewhat of a hidden gem set in a Victorian style house. The menu is split into 2 with one side featuring “Classics” the traditional French cuisine, and the other side showcasing “Creations” the contemporary French cuisine with European and West Coast influences.
