Whether or not you're a Francophile, you'll enjoy trying Cafe de Paris' French-inspired dishes such as crepes and quiche, along with a variety of other items such as homemade soups, salads and sandwiches. Their lemon artichoke soup is a favorite of many.
"Everything is made fresh and made to order. It's a good way to cater to your customers. It's very easy for us to leave something off and change something," said chef/owner Jim Kolowich. "I think that really makes the difference."
The friendly service also makes a difference at the quaint bistro-style establishment. "Most of the staff has been there six to eight years," Kolowich said. "It seems I know almost everyone who walks in the door and (the staff) do too."
"I think we've become a fabric of the neighborhood," he explained. "We've become the neighborhood place that we wanted when we opened."
Cafe de Paris is more than just a place to dine. Adjoining the restaurant by a common opening is C'est Moi, a delightful European-inspired store also owned by Kolowich and his wife, Susan. C'est Moi, in business 22 years, sells decorative items, furniture, lighting and tableware.
"We opened the restaurant because a fast food restaurant was going to go in the location," said Kolowich. "The store has always been a great element."
Whether you dine and shop or shop and dine, Cafe de Paris and C'est Moi enjoy a unique situation and continue to draw a regular following. "There's a good energy between the two," he said.
"We have the most incredibly dedicated customers. It's amazing to me," Kolowich said.
