Cordon Bleu a la Page is
all about the enjoyment of
good food in neighbourly
surroundings.

Bright butter-vellow walls;

lots of art; lots of Gallic

knick-knacks; assorted gastro-

nomic celectica —~ cook
books: bottles of wine; wall
art from local artists,

Add to the above, dining
room warmth by uie jer-
oboam.

Not as easy as it looks,
mind vou.

The 1910 vintage Harbor

Manor building the Cordon
Bleu occupies is well off the
beaten path for restaurants.
Hey, it’s well of the beaten

hours aspirations.

Lower Lonsdale East is
traditionally given over to
carpentry, automotive repair
and other light industrial
pursuits.

French bistros don’t really
fit the neighbourhood pro-
file.

At least they didn’t untita
few vears ago,

Now Fd wager Lower
Lonsdale East would be lost
without a French bistro.

You can thank chef Page
for that

He moved into what had
been My Place Cafe almost
three years age after an
impressive kitchen carcer in
such local favourites as Chez

Michel, La Belle Sole and the

Chef and the Carpenter.

It didn’t take long for Aly
Place to became Page’s place.
And, since struggling to take
root in the first vear, that
place has begun to blossom.

On a recent Friday night,
the off: Lonsdale industriai
east-side location was filled
with neighbourhood regulars

ale speci

and Page fans.

No casual passersby, Nort
many in this neighbourhood,
unless they chance upon
Cordon Bleu while searching
for a sash-and-door manufac-
turer.

No, this was a full house
of diners who have, over the
years, sniffed out the works
of Mr. Page and appreciate
the pleasures of simple
French bistra-style dining.
