Best of Boston

Owners Allison Baldwin and Ilene Mitnick (a.k.a. the “Roux Deux”) call their restored 1870s Victorian in P-town’s East End Gallery District a “French girl about to have a wonderful party,” and she’s a saucy lady indeed, with cheekily named rooms like “Not Your Mama’s Rouge” (bright-pink walls, claw-foot tub) or “Blame It on Mozambique” (animal prints, tribal masks, shower for two). Mingle at a daily “happier hour” over savory snacks, and at dinners with visiting chefs, who cook with ingredients from Roux’s on-site garden—or simply retreat to the mellow front porch for a cup of joe.
