This quintessential French bistro is generally crowded with locals – and it’s no mystery why: the setting is understatedly elegant, the staff genuinely friendly, and there’s an outstanding menu to boot. The classics – steak tartare, moules frites (mussels and fries), seasonal roast chicken – are all deftly executed, and its proximity to Lincoln Center makes it a perfect pre-show destination.
There's also a lighter lunch menu and decadent brunch offerings on weekends.
