Authentic cuisine and ambiance … gracious service … decent prices. Le Monde is a delight. This time we had the cheese soufflé, lamb chops, mousse and peach crepe with the onion soup and lobster crab cakes. All delectable. Especially loved the fresh greens that come with every course. And the epitome of grace - fresh silverware with each course and attentive water service. Merci beaucoup!

The soupe au Pistou was fabulous. The Moules Provençale Ok. Needed an implement to hold mussel which is standard, but not supplied. They were very gracious about changing our table. My dinner partner tends to be very particular.
