French restaurants in Albuquerque

I don't have a lot of experience with French food, but its national principles often coincide with mine: fresh food, simply prepared.

Albuquerque has some places that have really impressed me. It tends to average a bit pricier than other fine cuisines in town, but that's understandable given the difficulties of supply for the better-quality ingredients.

• Café Voila. Hard to find, but worth it. Country style.
• Cafe Miche****. High-end food, a bit pricier.
• Chez Axel****, northeast corner of San Pedro and Montgomery. Very nice atmosphere and food all around. Excellent take on Provençal style.
• French Corner**** (lunch only).
• I haven't tried it, but some folks like La Crepe Michel, in Old Town. Others disdain it, saying it is not great French.

Gone but not forgotten

• La Cuisine****
