Part retro fern bar, part Parisian brasserie, this all-day cafe on South Congress features one of the city’s best wine lists and a wide variety of small and large plates ranging from matzo ball caldo to salt cod croquettes to a fried chicken sandwich. Pub nights on Sundays feature Indian-inspired specials and discounted pints.
