Our classic Bouillabaisse a l'Americaine is full of shellfish, prawns, scallops, artichokes and baby potatoes. It's all simmered in a saffron and pastis tomato broth...rouille buttered baguette on the side! 25$ all night long...you can't make it for less at home:)

Wow, this restaurant is really a gem. High-class food and service with reasonable price. If you really like french food, this is the place to go, way better than Cassis or Fleur de sel. You will see me a lot in your restaurant. Kudo of the team.

Another amazing meal at Purlieu. Every dish was delicious but especially the tempura shrimp appetizer and the veal schnitzel. The service was, as always, first class!
