Princess isnt hiding in the tower anymore. In the modern era, the fair
lady prefers something a little more down to earth (literally).
Follow the dark wooded road, past the white birch stumps, down the
enchanted stairs, and enter into Hotel St-Sulpices hidden gem: Restaurant
Sinclair. This Baroque-styled quasi dungeon, accented by sleek red
banquettes and Paris landscape sepia wallpaper, is instantly charming.
But the pièce de resistancean imaginative menu of earth
meets sea pairingsis a feast for the palate, not the eyes.
We started with the raw Albacore tuna with button mushrooms and La
Quercia ham ($13), which was a lovely mix of spicy, sweet and
(surprise!) crunchy. Not to be outdone, the oven broiled Gooseberry cod
with eggplant paste, grilled scallions and crosnes ($27), also proved
delish.
With all meals covered and a post-10 p.m. $22 menu, theres always a good
time to escape to Far, Far Away. Nina Mourin
