Served all month, this French dessert called La Galette des Rois, at Chez Sabine in Redlands.

COURTESY OF CHEZ SABINE

Chez Sabine, a little French cafe at 615 W. State St. in Redlands, is generating a big buzz: merveilleux, magnifique, fantastique.

Those are the raves Im hearing from friends one of them a retired French teacher whos married to a Frenchman about this 2-year-old bistros sweet and savory crepes, omelets, sandwiches, salads, quiches and pastries. The special dessert this month is la galette des rois (kings cake), a buttery puff pastry filled with almond paste.

Now theres a new menu to drool over. Last week, the cafe introduced small plates paired with French and American wines, which will be regular fare 5-7 p.m. every Friday and Saturday.

Its a step-by-step approach to serving dinner, said Jeff Hecht, who owns the spot with Sabine Belhacene and her brother, Karim Belhacene.

The petite morsels will include a sort of pork pate called rillettes served with bread and mustard ($13), broiled goat cheese on toast topped with honey and herbs ($9) and a savory flan with mushrooms served cold with a tomato basil sauce and arugula ($9.50).
