Restaurant Description

*This restaurant has closed. If this restaurant is open or has reopened, just let us know.

Rue De L'Espoir first opened its doors in 1976, 'the new kid on the block,' according to Deborah Norman, in a city with only a few steak houses, Chinese restaurants, and pizza shops. Now 'The Rue,' as the Providence institution is fondly known by a loyal and ever-expanding clientele, has grown and matured along with Rhode Island's changing culinary scene. Starting out as a quiche-and-crepe bistro, The Rue now specializes in fresh regional cooking, with influences borrowed from France, Italy, and Asia. The restaurant has received attention in numerous travel books and magazines, including Esquire, Bon Appetit, Food and Wine, Victoria, Weekending in New England, Fodor's New England, and even This Old House.

Had the worst quiche ever and to boot this is a French restaurant. Tried 3 different wines - terrible and overpriced. Would not go back ever.

This restaurant has been serving me great meals for 20 years. The prices are very fair. At dinner, there is something for everyone's pocket book. Just last week I ate the halibut and my date ate a fabulously gooey grilled cheese sandwich. As a matter of fact, that is how it is described on the menu. We ate at the bar and the bartender was great.
We go back often for breakfast as well. It's the best one in town.

We had heard great things about this restaurant and were disappointed. Food was very ordinary and not worth the prices charged.
