Here are a few of the drinks at Café Chinois that caught our attention.
Rangoon Ruby
Sweet, but not too much, and refreshing. This drink, and its lovely red-purple hue, is true to its name. The combination of gin, lemon and hibiscus is served in a coupe glass with a candied blossom.
Birds of Hanoi
A blend of Japanese whisky, Aperol and sweet vermouth is the Café Chinois take on classic cocktails like the Manhattan and Boulevardier. It’s served on the rocks, in a dragon-emblazoned glass
Tata Rere
For those who want to drink their dessert, try this combination of vodka, cà phê sua đá ca (or Vietnamese iced milk coffee) and chocolate bitters – served martini style and topped with shaved chocolate. Thompson included cocktails named for her three children. This is Bartsch s entry, whose younger family members call her ta ta re re.

WILMINGTON â It’s been less than a week since Café Chinois â the latest eatery from the Indochine restaurant group â opened its doors to the public. Yet, its expansion is already on the horizon, according to owner Solange “Niki” Thompson and her daughter Marie Bartsch, who oversee the restaurants, along with director of operations Kathy Long.
“It’s in a strip mall, so you’re limited where you can go,” Bartsch said, speaking of Chinois’ location in the former Southern Thai space (3715 Patriot Way) in Fulton Station. “So, Mom’s taking over the driving school next door soon.”
They are now adding furniture and updating the look of the restaurant.
“We didn’t really have to renovate,” Thompson said. “We are just putting in a little T.L.C.”
The end result will be upscale, but still comfortable. And have a full bar.
“It will be some French, but also Asian,” she said. “Kind of funky and bohemian.”
The new owners are keeping on the staff of Southern Thai and many of their popular menu items will remain, including the fried chicken and Sriracha fried rice.
Thompson said they will bring in some other Asian dishes as well, like pho, roasted duck, Vietnamese crepes, Korean bulgogi and japchae, with stir-fried sweet potato noodles.
