Everyone has an idea about what characterizes a French restaurant. Visit Café de Paris once and that idea is likely to change. Owner Erik Rochard brings a completely new attitude to the French dining experience and has created a casual, comfortable and unpretentious atmosphere that caters to every type of household.
“My idea was first to demystify French cooking,” states Erik. “Second, it was to create a neighborhood French restaurant, the type found throughout France.” Café de Paris offers a palate of dishes influenced by all regions of France as well as neighbors along the Mediterranean and Alsace. “We want guests to come in, sit back and relax, enjoy a glass of wine or cider, savor a three-course meal or enjoy lighter fare at the bar, listen to a live music and experience pure joie de vivre.”
This is Erik’s passion and it shows in every aspect of Café de Paris. “Dining together is a way of sharing,” states Erik. “Sharing with friends and family, taking the time to enjoy each other’s company while enjoying authentic French cuisine.” As a young boy growing up in France, Erik learned the importance of getting together and sharing the day over a nice meal. He wants Café de Paris to be that gathering place where friends, families, couples, individuals all come together to pursue the virtue of sharing. “I love to see people come in with their kids for a big family event,” states Erik. “Sharing love and experiences around the table.” And of course, good food.
Whether for lunch or dinner, this good food starts with tasty appetizers ranging from French onion soup or home made pâté to escargot or duck confit and lentil salad. Right from the start, Erik encourages patrons to take their time and enjoy their meals. As he says, “bistro may mean quick, but dining at Café de Paris is to be savored not rushed.”
The savory menu selections change seasonally and entrees range from Beef Bourguignon or Roasted Pork Tenderloin to Saumon Grille Ratatouille or Double Crab Cake. That’s right, Maryland crab cakes with a French flair. Next door, the Crêpe Café offers a huge selection of reasonably priced, tasty crêpes. Made with buckwheat, this lighter fare is lower in calories and has fewer carbohydrates than a traditional sandwich.
Café de Paris also offers its popular “Formule” pre-set menu, which includes a choice of appetizer, entrée and desert all for a fixed price. Guests can also enjoy a delicious weekend Crepe brunch on both Saturday and Sunday.
Recently Erik met with his staff to discuss how to provide an experience that is even more pleasurable; leaving patrons satisfied and happy, and is, most importantly, less painful on the wallet. The vote was unanimous: “let’s change the menu, decrease our prices and produce more eclectic dishes, so that every visit leaves one with a feeling of a great experience that is not regretted when the credit card statement arrives.” With that said, Café de Paris is better than ever and Erik’s continued commitment to food, friends and family remains obvious with every visit. Saveur exquise! (or some such French exclamation).
