Bistrot La Minette

Editorial Review

The pedigree that the brain trust behind La Minette brings to the table include names such as Waldorf Astoria, Gramercy Tavern, and Spago. It's no surprise, then, that the bistro has been a hit from day one. No affectations here—the emphasis is on classic French food done right. From Sardines Grillees to Creme Brulee, everyone speaks this version of French menu-isms. The prix-fixe menu is a little pricy, but it's nicely balanced by the affordable carafes of wine.
