worth crossing the bridge for

i will take any excuse to have an outing across 

the big red bridge & into sausalito. i love leaving

the city and feeling like i'm in a tiny coastal

european village. that is sausalito for you!

now i have another reason to frequent this

little town, because some of the best french

cuisine is there. sylvie just opened up

biologique, a spacier and slower-paced

version of her popular cafe in the city. it

fits with sausalito and marin so well.

lunching here is relaxing, slow-paced,

and exactly how french cuisine should be.

the food is truly gorgeous and incredible.

it's hard to believe sylvie is completely

self- taught! she's a genius and comes up

with incredible combinations. biologique

is french for organic, so you can imagine

all of the ingredients are fresh and amazing.

^^ the only tricky thing here is the location..

it's easy to miss since it's a little ways off the

main street and you could drive right by it!

make sure you find it at 2633 bridgeway

^^ sylvie definitely has her own flair.

she serves the classic croque monsieur

sandwich {one of my favorite things} in

a way i've never had it...on raisin bread!

i would never come up with this, but sylvie

says she realized the little bit of sweet 

complimented the flavor of the sandwich..

and she was right! we ALL loved this most.

...and, that salad with fresh peaches and

dates? i have no words. need it every day.

^^ the soups are incredibly flavorful, 

thanks to the organic vegetables that

are used at biologique. this was the soup

of the day and had all different veggies in

it. good for you and packed with flavor.

^^ we tried the beef bourguignon,

always a french classic.

 ^^ sylvie's oat cakes and all of

her french treats are made from

scratch at the restaurant. it's 

tough to choose just one!

always a good time with joe + becca!

so glad they came along.

^^ and, here's sylvie...the mastermind chef

 behind it all. is she not the cutest? go visit her 

in sausalito, and tell her we sent you!

i always love a meal that ends with a macaron.

and next time, i'm coming for their breakfast!

hello homemade french yogurt, quiche, etc!!

cheers to one more reason to love sausalito,

and one more reason to love french food!
