Grab their coats and load up the sleigh. It’s time to head out and enjoy an easy lunch or dinner at our favorite restaurants with fireplaces.

La Madeleine
If you want to feel fancy without breaking the bank, bundle up the family and head to La Madeleine for a très bien breakfast, lunch or dinner. Enjoy tomato basil soup, a salad sampler, free bread (woohoo!), and so much more by their cozy, double-sided fireplace. Just be sure to save room to say “oui, oui” to dessert.
