The French-inspired La Fourchette Bistro is the quickest avenue to Paris. This two-floor, dream destination offers breathtaking Parisian murals with misty blue waters, boats, seamen, mermaids and shops. Diners can expect an intimate table finished with a fresh tulip. The salmon grille (served with spinach mousse and beurre blanc) is reminiscent of French culinary art. This summer, soft shell crabs make a return to the menu. For about $20, you can try their weekday lunch specials featuring cold cucumber soup with a drink. Bon appetit!
