Especially considering that most of the pictures for this post were taken from the CTBites review of Luc's Café in Ridgefield (http://www.ctbites.com/home/2009/12/4/cafe-lucs-real-deal-french-bistro-fare-in-ridgefield.html), I'd suggest... ummm... Luc's Café in Ridgefield. They are having a Bastille Day weekend and 10th anniversary rolled in one.
