Le Deauville

Lexington's downtown French bistro is a convivial place, given to conversation and good food. It shares a name with the city's stylish sister town in Normandy, and it's become quite a culinary destination for folks in the area. Seared foie gras and steamed mussels serve as an apt introduction to dishes like grilled lamb chops, duck confit, and steak frites. Sauteed chicken and seared salmon or scallops also bridge the culinary terrain between comfort food and gourmet fare.
