Café des Artistes, located on the square in historic Leonardtown, is a Chef Owned and Operated, Classic Upscale Bistro where you can escape the culinary mundane and take a journey to the French countryside! The promise of a true elegant country French meal - moderately priced, a well-selected wine list with offerings from France to Leonardtown, the original Chef/Owner and staff still in tact after 11 years - is what makes Cafe des Artistes one of a kind. Outside, a quaint cobblestone patio sidewalk perfect for open-air dining - extremely popular during the summer 'First Friday' events and Sunday Brunch. Inside, classic crisp earth tone tablecloths, in a softly lit dining room resembling a Country Inn, with piano every Friday & Saturday (Jazz Cabaret twice a month with a special Saturday for Late Night Jazz & Dancing). The regular menu delights any palate with an array of culinary French offerings (as does the Prix-Fixe 3-course menu available until 6:00 pm for only $21.95). New menu items recently added include French style Surf 'n Turf with Lobster Thermidor & Filet Mignon, Sea Scallops, Portobello Encroute and a 'Local' Bison 'n Bleu Cheese Burger for lunch!
