The founder of the infamous Pierre Victoire chain is back in the city where his collapsed empire first started. Older, wiser but just as chirpy as before, his new venture offers a greatest hits of French bistro cooking with some exotica thrown in for good measure. Fans of the Old Pierre Victoire restaurants may be pleased to see the grilled mussels with garlic and Pernod butter back on the menu, along with dishes such as a cassoulet featuring goose, duck, white beans, Toulouse sausage and confit belly pork.
