Vie De France Now Open at 96 Orchard

There’s plenty of French pickings from which to choose, including salads, sandwiches, galettes, and crepes. Nearly all of the menu items are priced just south of ten dollars. Stepping inside, the patron is greeted by Chef Armani and crew standing behind an elongated counter. Follow the narrowish corridor toward the rear, where the space gains more breathing room and some small-table seating.
