We all have that one friend who went to Paris once and hasn’t stopped making unsubtle comments about how much better the bread is there or how there are no good places to get escargot in “the States.” Brasserie by Niche will prove them wrong. This Central West End restaurant has all the charm of a French brasserie and a menu full of French classics like mussels and steak frites, and thankfully it’s also not excessively expensive. We’re also fans of their brunch, especially the beignets, quiche, and cocktails.
