Lilette

French restaurant · East Riverside

"This romantic French bistro has date night written all over it. Chef/owner John Harris opened Lilette on Magazine Street 23 years ago. The restaurant has stood the test of time, earning consistent accolades for its expertly executed French menu and moody setting. Hanger steak with frites and marrow bordelaise, grilled beets with goat cheese and walnuts, and chocolate hazelnut mousse are a few stellar options," - Beth D'Addono
