Maison Marcel

This sweet-as-a-button restaurant has a secret weapon: a master baker from France. Taste the skill for yourself when you order flaky croissants stuffed with chocolate, custard-filled canelé, craggly baguettes and delicate macarons. If you've got time to stay a while, settle in for brunch favorites like the purple grits with cauliflower, cherry tomatoes and poached eggs, or the ancient grain porridge, which is topped with a medley of seasonal fruit. The bar serves twists on classic cocktails, including a rosemary greyhound and a cardamom old fashioned.
