  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Amélie dishes up excellent French fare and a killer happy hour. The draw is the $14 wine flight, which gives you the opportunity to sample three wines from different regions (choose from a selection of rosé, white or red flights).

If you’re a frequent flier at the restaurant and have tried all the flights on offer, opt for a $10 glass of red, white, rosé, or sparkling (sommelier’s choice, changes daily) instead. Not into wine? Beer goes for $5. As for food, there’s a handful of small plates like truffle fries, beef tartare crostinis and chicken liver mousse to nibble on before the dinner reservation kicks in.

Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
