Chat Noir

Make a Reservation

The charming atmosphere in Chat Noir pays homage to classic Parisian bistros, where understated elegance meets chic casual without sacrificing a modicum of quality. The menu offers Parisian classics from forest mushroom crepes to Burgundy escargots, with a whole section devoted to “Steak Frites,” boasting a Prime steak selection that rivals any steakhouse. Live jazz and an excellent selection of French champagne, wine, and beer, add to the ambiance, which is so charmingly authentic that by the time you conclude your meal with a hot chocolate soufflé for two, you might just believe you have been transported to Paris.
