Le Gaulois

ALEXANDRIA. This Old Town favorite offers country French cuisine as comforting as it is delicious. Top menu choices include bouillabaisse, cassoulet, and a hearty pot-au-feu, a pleasing combination of beef, vegetables, and savory spices. The appealing place includes a lovely garden patio and a rustic, French interior. The wine list is full of little-known French offerings, along with local wines, and desserts are as you'd expect, with rich French pastries, mousses, and tarts. Reservations recommended. Business casual attire.
