My husband and I have been to Le Garage a number of times since it opened. This casual, hip restaurant is located in an industrial area in a former garage space. It is positioned beside the water with a great view of the beautiful sailboats and yachts in Sausalito. I was a big fan of Bruno Denis’ food when he was at Chez Papa in San Francisco, and I was thrilled when I heard he was opening this bistro in Sausalito.
The menu features a number of tasty items and changes with the seasons. On a recent trip, I ordered the black mission figs stuffed with Forme d’Ambert cheese, arugula, dried cherries, pistachios and pomegranate vinaigrette. That was followed by the duck confit with Sausalito watercress, roasted fingerling potatoes, wild chanterelles and a cider sauce. (Their duck confit is always extremely tender and delicious. I order it almost every time I go there.) My husband had the salad of Belgian endives, Roquefort, butter pears, walnuts and black truffle vinaigrette. That was followed by the Alaskan halibut encrusted with chorizo, yellow wax and romano beans, dandelion greens and a tomato confit vinaigrette. We finished the meal with a tasty French prune tart with Grand Marnier mousseline.
Le Garage features a nice wine list, too, with offerings from both France and California.
Le Garage is open for lunch Monday-Friday, for brunch on Saturday and Sunday and for dinner Monday-Saturday.
