What to Drink

The 125-bottle wine list focuses on small growers in France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, with three-fourths of the selections priced at about $30 per bottle. There are also 32 wines by the glass, served in a quarter-liter "caraffina," ideal for sharing.

Know Before You Go

Avec doesn't take reservations, so it's a good idea to get there early in the evening.

    It?s the seasonal menu items?braised pork shoulder with garlic sausage, summer squash and pesto-tossed pasta?that make the place what it is.

    Roast pork and anything with chorizo. Flatbread also is amazing.
