Profile

Bar Blanc joins the cut-rate-restaurant brigade by rechristening itself as Bar Blanc Bistro with a bargain bar menu by chef Sebastiaan Zijp, earth tones to temper the sleek white space, and microbrews on tap. (Remember when the word “bar” meant casual food and beer?) From the PR machine: "The new bar menu features a variety of small plates, all $10 and under, as well as a daily sandwich and the Bar Blanc Burger." That's plenty of buzzwords, but you can judge the new bar and bistro menus (and the burger's "Bone Marrow Bordelaise Mayo") here for yourself. — Alexandra Vallis

Note

The wine list isn’t extensive, but it’s interesting and well priced.

Ideal Meal

Slow-roasted rabbit-and-sweetbread salad, chicken or braised-lamb-shoulder lasagne, bittersweet-chocolate cake.

Uninspiring & Overpriced

Recently went for dinner after they proclaimed themselves to be a "bistro" and was very disappointed with the uninspiring menu choices and pricing. I ordered the lamb parpadelle and black truffle mac. Both dishes were highly over-salted and the pasta in both was undercooked/rubbery. The dessert menu was equally uninspiring, so I passed. The wine menu (by the glass) was not bad - I had a glass of the shiraz. The only saving grace to this place was the impeccably attentive service and nice décor. Nonetheless, I would still not recommend this place.

Lost it without Ramirez

Dined here Dec 28 and the food was simply awful. The pasta had been prepared much earlier and "warmed over"...disgusting. The beef was stone cold. Not a soul was in the restaurant. Deathwatch on this place.
