YACHT LIFE

Cannes not on your vacation schedule? That's OK, since Stephane Santos and Stephanie Zuberbuehler, with business partner Pierre Honegger, have brought a taste of the south of France to Back Bay. La Voile is the authentic French brasserie that the neighborhood needed: There is no television in the bar area, and the food is simple and hearty. Don't even think of not trying the warming, rich fish soup or one of the classic desserts. La Voile, 261 Newbury Street, Boston, 617-587-4200, lavoileboston.net
