Rene Peeters opened Watel's in the mid-1980s, long before Uptown was cool. Now he's got a funky little restaurant on Greenville Avenue that suits the neighborhood. The seating (high and low tables) and the plates (French and Japanese ceramics) are as eclectic as the menu, which features dishes from Africa, Morocco, and Switzerland, among others. Service is nurturing, wine is affordable, and the restaurant doesn't close until the last guest leaves.
