Meet the owner

Francois Duprix grew up in the kitchen, learning to cook from his mother and nurturing what would become a lifelong love of food. That love led to him owning his first restaurant in 1984, and several since, with Merlot opening in February 1998. “My idea of food was to always keep it as good and simple as possible,” says Francois. “But I think a restaurant is not only about food. It’s a blend of quite a few things like atmosphere, service, and food.”

The atmosphere created at Merlot comes from Francois’ attention to detail, from the décor to the music. The walls are decorated from his own collection of posters from French art galleries. “I wanted to have a plate in front of you and an atmosphere around you that you really enjoy so you leave the restaurant happy,” he says.

Fairly busy evening for them when we visited. My wife and I arrived early and so ordered a pair of Stella's while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. Both beers were flat and skunky but the bartender accepted them back and replaced them willingly after a keg change. There were lots of interesting appetizer choices - I had the grilled tomato and goat cheese which was delicious. My wife and I both found the dinner entree portion of the menu to be rather uninteresting. Absolutely nothing jumped out at us as something we just had to have. My wife eventually went with the Tortellini which she said was fine. There were a great many specials available and I went with the rib-eye steak in peppercorn sauce as my entree. Nicely cooked with a very tasty sauce. However two others in our group also ordered the same thing, one medium well and the other rare. The server gave each to the wrong person. The person who got the rare steak had difficulty eating a near raw piece of meat but was reluctant to send it back to the kitchen for the usual reasons. An ok dining experience but there's lots of competition in the Italian/Euro bistro cuisine genre so given all the above, we see no reason why we'd return.

For Winterlicious, the menu options include moules "Pernod", onglet steak "au poivre", chicken merguez "sauce diable", and a flan à L'Alsacienne.
