Blanc feels more like an art space than a restaurant or bar.

The original menu has around a dozen dishes, and the wine and cocktail lists are just as compact.

This beautiful, evergreen spot, by the founders of Tilda and chef Pavel Kazmin, draws in a young, creative crowd that comes to talk over a drink and maybe grab a bite.

Regulars value the atmosphere, where everyone is kind and considerate toward each other. And, of course, the aesthetics — Blanc is always a pleasure to look at.
