La Maison means “house” in “French” — thank you, 12 years of French lessons, nailed it — but one of the key draws of this fusion mainstay is it’s beautiful, spacious, and serene courtyard abutting a classical three-storey colonial house. Atmosphere trumps food at La Maison, but you could do worse than end up here for coffee or drinks when looking for a quick respite from an afternoon out in the city center.
