About Chez Maurice Et Linda

Chez Maurice Et Linda delivers old-school French dining with warm bistro hospitality and a welcoming BYO policy. Table service starts with complimentary house-made chicken liver pâté and warm crusty bread. Regulars drop in for unapologetic vintage classics—think rich escargots, Chateaubriand with béarnaise, and pastry-wrapped beef Wellington flanked by green beans and potatoes. Finish the bottle of red you brought alongside a crackling crème brûlée.

  • Complimentary Pâté on Arrival: Diners are welcomed at the table with house-made chicken liver pâté and warm bread on the house.
  • BYO-Friendly Dining: Guests can bring their own wine and champagne for a modest per-person corkage fee.
  • Vintage Bistro Staples: The menu leans into retro French mainstays like beef Wellington, escargots à la bourguignonne, and profiteroles.

  • Rare, Old-School Bistro Specialties

    Diners can savor rare, heritage bistro dishes like escargots à la bourguignonne and traditional pan-fried brains that are difficult to encounter in modern dining.

    Fantastic little suburban restaurant, old-fashioned in a good way, serving classic French-style food which is not easy to find these days.

Before you head over

Practical advice for planning your visit to Chez Maurice Et Linda

  • Pick up your wine ahead of time

    The restaurant operates on a BYO basis and the nearest bottle shop is a walk away, so purchase your wine or champagne before arriving.

  • Order rare classic cuts early

    Popular house specialties like the pan-fried brains with garlic and parsley can run out, so order early in the evening if you have your heart set on them.

  • Choose weeknights for a quieter meal

    Weekend nights can become very noisy with celebratory group dinners and parties; book a weeknight table if you prefer a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere.
