French in CT

Looking to get my parents a girt certificate for Christmas and they love French food. I am open to any and all suggestions. Thank you for your help!

Bistro Bonne Nuit in New Canaan has extraordinary French food. It can be cramped and a little loud, but it's a bistro.

Jean Louis in Greenwich. It's just off Greenwich Ave which is lined with lots of nice, high end shops -excellent opportunity to take a stroll and window shop before dinner.

Le Petit Cafe in Branford is excellent for bistro-style food in a laid-back, suburban atmosphere.

For the big-deal French experience, go for Union League Cafe in New Haven. Excellent food in a beautiful setting, with impeccable service.

If you are near Greenwich, best French in the state is Jean Louis, on Lewis Street. If Jean Louis is there you will notice his chartreuse 2CV Renault out front, and he will even take you for a spin after dinner!

If your parents are near the shoreline, you cannot do better than Le Petit Cafe in Branford.

Is there a specific area of the state you want to stay in (e.g. Ffld. County, Greater Hartford, etc.)?

They live on the shoreline but travel to the Hartford area and to New York often. So I would say Hartford, Middlesex and all of the shoreline is good. Thank you for asking!
