About a month ago, Chef Blake Elsinghorst and Andrea Mongelli quietly opened their little cafe at the corner of 37th & Abercorn. Although it’s not quite the full French Restaurant of SavannahBest.Com’s dreams, it comes very close (except for lack of wine) to many little French cafes at which I’ve idled away time in France. So far, I’ve only tried the Escargot (huge portion!) and the Caesar Salad with that wondrous rarity, White Anchovies, and both have been delicious, although I prefer the traditional, stronger garlic flavor on the escargot to the shallot. The sourdough bread, homemade from an 8-year starter, is wonderful and although I haven’t tasted it yet, the Pork Confit sandwich is beckoning. A work of patience is that confit, since it takes at least two weeks to prepare! More on this little Thomas Square gem soon.

You should go back to Cafe 37 now that it has had a year to grow. The Cafe has now offers several terrific options for french wine, and serves dinner on the weekend with an exciting variety of french dishes.
