Profile

At this Cornelia Street staple—on a leafily romantic restaurant row that also includes Home, Po, and the Cornelia Street Café—chef Alioune Ndiaye cooks French bistro classics with an emphasis on meat and fish. Start with seasonal crab cakes and then head straight for—what else?—le gigot, a no-nonsense yet delectable leg of lamb served with flageolets. What's most welcoming about Le Gigot, aside from its quaint dozen tables and delightful staff, is its resemblance to one of those anonymous yet revelatory Parisian bistros untrammeled by the tourist crowd that you happen to stumble into on a rainy Saturday night in the Sixteenth Arrondissement. Don't tell a soul. — Andy Bailey

Brunch

Sat.—Sun., 11 a.m.—2:30 p.m.

The steak Au Poivre was chewy and fatty (I didnt even finish it - a first for me). Wine selection wasn't very good and if you order by the glass, it's a bit of a rip off (served in a little glass which they only fill a portion of the way). Everything else we ordered was decent. 2 of us with appetizers and three glasses of wine was $175 with tip - at that price, take yourself to Raouls for an amazing meal. (26 seats is great too and more of a bargain).

Yummy! French! Quaint! Oasis!

I went here last night and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the lamb while my friend had the chicken with garlic mashed potatoes. You know, both were super flavorful. It is a small place so I think its best for small parties or couples. (I'd read that people made reservations for 6! Where would they put you? On the sidewalk?) The wine was exceptional ... I haven't been in NY for 6 months and this was the perfect welcome back!
