★ The Legend
Baguette with Housemade French Butter
This dish is a direct nod to the bakery's roots, featuring their slow-fermented sourdough baguette served with a generous portion of house-made French butter, often molded into charming shapes.

● Chef's Pick
Kabocha Custard Tart
Co-owner Ashley Coiffard has highlighted dishes involving dough, and this tart, with its flaky crust, is a prime example of the kitchen's ability to elevate bakery staples into sophisticated dinner items. Chef Stasia De Tilly, who grew up cooking in Champagne, France, brings a farm-fresh, seasonal approach to French classics, making this a standout.
◇ Hidden Gem
Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae
While not explicitly on all menus, the tahini chocolate chip cookie is a popular dessert from their bakery counterpart and is mentioned as a dessert option at L'Apero.
Insider Tip
First-timers often try to walk in, but L'Apéro is an intimate space with limited seating. Instead, make a reservation well in advance through Resy, especially if you're planning a date night, as it's known for its romantic atmosphere. This ensures you get to experience the full, unhurried charm of the wine bar without the stress of waiting.
