What does "Les Gras" mean?
People have been asking why we named the restaurant Bistro Les Gras. First and foremost it is the name of a beautiful village in the southeast of France bordering Switzerland. We have been trying to visit Les Gras for a number of years with no avail. In honor of our efforts, we have decided to bring a little bit of Les Gras to Northampton.
Les Gras also means "the fats," in terms of culinary uses. We know that French food can have a poor reputation when it comes to eating light and we would like to show you that French food can be prepared in a style that is not all butter and cream. French food is clean and complex. We liked the play on words so we ran with it.
