Located in the beautiful Beaux-Arts Sherman Building in downtown New Haven, Union League Cafe is a piece of Paris brought to Connecticut. Arched windows, luxurious dark wood, stained glass, and the marble fireplace along one wall are features reminiscent of an upscale Parisian brasserie. Owner/Executive Chef Jean Pierre Vuillermet continues to transport us to France with his cuisine gastronomique with modern touches – it is French traditional cuisine with local ingredients that are fresh, seasonal, and often organic.

The various components complement one another superbly, and the flavors, textures, and colors make for a memorable gastronomic experience. You might want to indulge in the Duck Leg Confit with potato galette, served with salad of Granny Smith apple, walnuts, and watercress salad. The wine list is extensive and includes some well-chosen and affordable French and New World wines.
