L'Abatrose by Zack Bruell is a French themed restaurant. The bouillabaisse is amazing, and it comes ceremoniously in a tagine. Duck Confit and Cassoulet are rustic and indulgent enough to be shared by two. Sit outdoor or inside by the fireplace. It's in the University Circle, the cultural and intellectual area of Cleveland with the Cleveland Museum of the Arts, the Botanical Garden, several universities, and the University Hospital. The Cleveland Clinic main campus is not too far, and it has an impressive art collection open to public via a self guided tour.
