I think Le Barricou has the potential to be a very good bistro, and a solid brunch site. The hanger steak cheese steak is the highest-end cheese steak I’ve ever eaten, with all the trappings of a Philly-style cheese steak (onions, peppers, cheese) but with quality cheese, bread, and sliced hanger steak instead of whatever that stuff is that goes into a regular cheese steak.

Their chicken sandwich is also excellent, with the same level of great cheese and bread.

If you show up early enough for brunch, you get a basket of croissant and pain au chocolate. Hopefully it’s just recent-opening issues, but if you show up too late in the afternoon, you get no tasty bread snacks.

Unfortunately, the coffee is disappointing, which means I’ll be going for tea the next time I return for brunch.
