Restaurant Review LinksListed below are links to reviews of Avec from around the web.
"Our second small plate was a frisée salad with pan-fried frogs’ legs, prosciutto and fried fennel, all of which were drizzled with a paprika aiöli ($11.00). I chose this not only because I love frisée, but also because I’ve never had frogs’ legs before, ..."
"Sort of like a wine bar wedged into breakfast diner confines. We did not stay for dinner, but wine flights and small plate appetizers...."
"We recently met up with Scot and Ben from Dinner Voyeur at Avec to sample the Mediterranean inspired cuisine and share our love of food. The communal tables encourage you to chat with neighboring diners, and as a result, the narrow restaurant is loud and ..."
"Maybe stinky was the wrong word but rather very much like dirt. Chorizo-stuffed dates with bacon in a pepper-tomato sauce were awesome...."
"A friend visiting Avec for the first time looked up from the communal wood table to the unadorned wood walls and said he felt like he was dining in a Finnish sauna. Avec is that minimalist, and still one of the hottest restaurants in town...."
"A year and a half after its launch, Blackbird's celebrated satellite still packs people into the narrow space between its cedar walls for simple, intensely flavored Mediterranean..."

"Desserts were perfectly nice, if not as exciting as their savory counterparts. A pear tart had a delicious, flaky crust but its central fruit wasn't as prominent a feature as I would have preferred...."
"This modern and minimalist restaurant is a like a long shotgun space, a wooden rectangular box sporting a Scando-sauna look: large slats of wood along the walls and floors, angular wood communal tables with bench seating, and a glowing installation of gre..."
"Ingredient I love working with ras el hanout, a North African spice blend that literally means "top of the shop. � It originated in Morocco and spread to the rest of the region...."
