Crêpe, ham and cheese

Eastside Road, Healdsburg, August 14, 2009—

WE SAID WE WOULDN'T eat out tonight, we've hardly eaten at home this last week, but at the last minute a couple of old friends suggested stopping in at a nearby restaurant we've always liked but always neglected, so, saying we'd eat light, why not, we said.
Mirepoix is a comfortable bistro in a pleasant bungalow in Windsor. Not one of the faux-"village" buildings in Theme Park Windsor; one of the few old houses left standing along the main road toward the freeway and the shopping plaza. The website tells you about its menu: changing daily specials, bistro standbys, nice side dishes. I had a simple ham-and-cheese crêpe with a nice little green salad on the side, and afterward split a "saddened chocolate cake" — an individual slumpy cakelet with a nice caramel ice cream on the side. I'd go back next week.
