A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

venue Avec

  • Octopus at Avec Laurie Proffitt
Avec serves Mediterranean cuisine and wine, with an extensive list of vintages from Spain, Portugal, Italy, and France. Unsurprisingly, the restaurant looks like the inside of a wine crate: lots of wood and not much space, though people can eat at the long bar when the five tables are full. Salads are the house specialty, like the apple-and-celery salad, which is served with toasted almonds, shaved manchego cheese, and apple-cider vinaigrette.
