Loie Fullers

Top choice in Providence


This wonderfully original, atmospheric little bistro on the outskirts of the Federal Hill neighborhood is an oasis of fun and deliciousness on an otherwise drab trunk road. Inside, candles, ornate polished woods, frescoes and art-nouveau elements transport you to another time and place. On the French-inspired Modern American menu, comfort is king.
