This is quite an interesting development. There is zero competition for this type of restaurant at that location. Looking at the storefronts for several blocks in either direction on Route 29, that is a situation that is not likely to change anytime soon. I say this is well played. I'm very much looking forward to a French place. I've heard Chez Billy Sud is an excellent restaurant. Hope they bring that mojo to Arlington.

Do you remember Café Parisien Express, which was also in Lee Heights Shopping Center? They used to have "Couscous Night" once a week, and it wasn't bad (despite them using paper plates) - it was a nice place for a Sunday-morning croissant and middling cappuccino while lazily reading the newspaper. That said, anything even close to Chez Billy Sud would be *very* welcome in Lee Heights Shopping Center, and would be one of the best restaurants in North Arlington. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the French club that used to meet there to practice their French speaking skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopsing Posted July 13, 2019 Author Share Posted July 13, 2019 Yes I remember Cafe Parisien Express very well. I regularly went there for their chicken salad croissant sandwiches and French onion soup. The styrofoam plates were a bit tacky but the food was very good.
