If you come to La Grange at lunch break and you think you don't have to take wine with your meal because you have to go back to work, forget it. The French do not dine without wine. To them, food and wine complement each other. I didn't start smoking until I was 16. The wine is selected to match the meat and the flavor.
Rich wine goes with game, a full-flavored wine with cheese.
At the end of the meal, there is always fruit marinated in wine. Daniel Baudet, the pastry chef, describes himself as conservative-but just because he turns out classical desserts like chocolate cake, chocolate mousse, lemon pie and caramel custard, it doesn't follow that he cannot put together a mean cheesecake, one that rivals the cheesecake at Lindy's in New York . It is also touted about that La Grange is the only place in town where you can get Paris Brest-a dessert that sticks in your mind because of its wonderful hazelnut butter cream and choux almond. La Grange Restaurant and Music Bar is open daily from 11 a.m. till the last customer calls it a day.
