The word "Faux" means "False", and "Bourgeois" means "Middle Class" in french. This restaurant serves honest to goodness french food without the snob element. The food and wine are awesome, and the atmosphere is great. They have some classic french dishes like duck confit, steak and escarot. Personally I like the mussels with white wine cream sauce and bacon. Last but not least, try their crème brûlée.
