Aficionados of this Dallas-based favorite will find this site a welcome repository of the staples they have come to love: tomato/basil soup, Caesar salad dressing, cream of mushroom soup, even pre-shaped, unbaked croissants. Too bad the Romanoff syrup for the strawberries isn’t shelf-stable. Ah well, the French-inspired accoutrements of tiles, mugs, and table linens will bring back those Sunday afternoons at the Texas version of a French bistro, and can bring the flavor to friends for the holidays.
