Girls Guide dines out at one of their favorites, Caribou Cafe.

Caribou’s food is consistently appetizing and just enough portion-wise. Try their rich tasting crab cake or one of their many lovely salads or sandwiches. They provide a lush experience and meal without being too fancy or overdone.

Not everyone can escape to Paris in the spring time so La Boheme and Caribou Cafe are offering a deal. For $19.50 you can get steak frites plus a glass of wine.

Messy and Picky head out to a post-holiday lunch at Caribou Caf� on Walnut Street. What they find is the beet salad is too �beety� but the croquet monsieur stays together well melted cheese that hasn�t gotten too gooey.

The final word: Good French food in a nice setting, but not a lot for the vegetarians among us.
