While not so concerned with nasty Telegraph-oversizing or low-cal, unsatisfying imitations, Gregoire's food stabs at the American heart with a Normandine dagger full of flavor and satisfaction. It may not be as largely portioned as other lunch-time haunts, but the smaller sizes persuade you for more fat and gusto (which won't kill you). The crispy smoked duck pocket, while more of an Asian fusion dish than pure Normandy cuisine, is intoxicating (in a good way!). What really grows addictive, however, are the potato puffs served every month: creamy, salty dollops of mashed potato, deep-fried into crispy nuggets with liquidy centers! Get them--you won't be let down. The price is well worth it, and after licking your lips at the meal's finish, you're convinced it's not at all as expensive as the Gourmet Ghetto may imply. As a take-out restaurant, Gregoire surpassed my expectations.
Pros: quick, innovative cuisine, perfect portion sizes
Cons: little seating
