Bistro de la Gare

Editorial Review

Warm West Village Franco-Italian with female flair. Two lady chefs, late of Jarnac and Babbo, reincarnate Café de la Gare, where they were formerly owner and sous. Classic, fusion-adverse menu has frog-smoochers cherry picking mini-skillet cassoulet. Italophiles inexplicably drawn to corn tagliatelle, chicken cacciatore like Vespas, jeggings. Women in wine list, pretty red banquettes, and fountain-fitted garden lean fairer sex. But genderless prix fixe and chest-hair steak and eggs, plus manly baby arugula. Breakfast addicts: lunch burger on homemade English muffin.
