Off the beaten path for visitors but programmed into the culinary consciousness for locals, Gautreau’s has that comfortable feeling of your favorite restaurant—the one with an omnipresent owner and without a sign marking its front door. 2012 Rising Star Chef Sue Zemanick serves customers not so much comfort food, as food with soul. Zemanick relies on the purity of ingredients and back-to-basics cooking to make dishes that recall a sense of place. Courses might include an elegant ladies lunch or a playful twist on a diner favorite, but every meal at Gautreau’s shares the hallmark of thoughtful, purr-worthy cuisine. And since Zemanick rules both the savory and sweet portions of the menu, your last bite is bound to be as good as your first.
