We have dined at Le Cloche Penche many times & have never been disappointed. This was our first visit since the COVID-19 pandemic & I am happy to report that the establishment is as good or better than at any time in the past, though I prefer the previous arrangement of more tables & less bar space since I visit for the food! The halibut preparation was essentially perfect - a good-sized piece of high-quality fish well-prepared & accompanied by similarly well prepared vegetables. The vegan main dish had legitimate plant-based protein, chick peas, in a Mediterranean-flavored preparation with many other vegetables, a solid preparation. The apple/ maple dessert was tasty, as was the chocolate option. The wine by the glass was good. Overall, we love Le Cloche Penche & will return as soon as we can.

Wonderful dinner! This restaurant was recommended by a friend. The food was great & the service was excellent. Our server was informative on both food & wine. I believe she is also the sommelier for the restaurant. Wonderful evening!

Busy restaurants tell you something. They usually tell you who dines out on a Saturday but also why. The why? Because the food & service are excellent. Oysters were impeccable. Several wines on the list represented a well curated variety that suited the seasonal menu. Osso Bucco & Halibut were fresh & superb. Our server Was attentive, eager to suggest items & even helped us taste a sublime Syrah. An amazing evening. Merci!
