You might want to try some of the local restaurants to get a good feel for local cuisine. Perhaps the best is Yvettes and for the farm to fork movement you can't beat Ital's. Le Taitu has a wonderful lunch offering, for which we stick to the French dishes. Of course, the higher end places are also great--we love the smoked salmon and bouchot mussels at Bistrot Carraibes and the steak au poivre at L' Auberge Gourmand (assuming they now have the filets instead of the NY strip). And even though it's Italian, you should really eat at Piazza Pascal. Their seared calamari appetizer is excellent, and I'm hooked on their gorgonzola gnocchi.

eta. Ital's is vegetarian/vegan, but filling and tasty.
