On a charm-free, windswept corner, La Lunchonette beckons with Hernando’s Hideaway intrigue. Jean-François Fraysse, the chef-owner cooks as if each meal were testament of his love for fine french food. His rabbit with prunes, muskily sweet venison studded with quince, cassoulet to get lost in, and golden-glazed tarte Tatin are all surefire seductions.
