Gascogne

Editorial Review

Nestled away in a quieter corner of Eighth Avenue, far from the bustling insanity of Meatpacking bistros (cough, Pastis, cough) is the quieter, more service-oriented, cheaper, and dare we say, tastier Gascogne Restaurant. Lunch, dinner, and brunch prix-fixe menus all offer reasonably priced, generous portions of Francophilic classics: moules frites, escargots, terrine of black truffles and rabbit? Sacré bleu! A decent-sized wine list should cover finicky vino-freaks and a beautiful, Manhattan escapist's dream garden for al fresco dining in the back makes this a must-hit for locals and tourists alike.(Photo credit: William Brinson)
