Profile

Le Marais, one of New York's few kosher steakhouses, takes its name and inspiration from the historic, artsy neighborhood in Paris. For its clientele of religious Jews, tourists, and theater-goers, the restaurant recreates a Gallic bistro atmosphere, with dark wood paneling, antique advertising posters, Parisian maps, and life-sized lamp posts. Starters include charcuterie selections, smoked salmon and herring, a vegetable napoleon, and, in a nod to Morocco, a couscous salad spiked with spicy merguez sausage. Still, the main attraction is the meat—a working butcher shop at the entrance and on-premise aging room signal that these folks mean business. Cuts of succulent ribeye and prime rib are all ably prepared; shallot and bearnaise sauces add further perk. Fabulous fries complete the picture. Other specialties range from steak tartare to slow-cooked veal, and from beef burgundy to chicken fricassee. There's more to kosher than pastrami, after all. — Michael Anstendig

You Cannot Go Wrong with Steak-Frites

If you are a carnivore and do not mind the extreme noise level, you will have a pleasant experience here. The food is prepared as described, not always true in kosher restaurants, and the service is competent, if a bit rushed at times. In a steakhouse, which is on the decline in culinary circles, your vegetarian friends will go home hungry--no surprise, although a fine pasta dish would not be amiss. Desserts are overpriced, but this spot fills the niche for the neighborhood.

Having lived in NY nearly all my life, I have been to steak houses all over the city. I went to a friend's birthday bash at Le Marais four years ago, and have been hooked ever since! The service is impeccable, the food is presented beautifully, in truth, my only complaint is that its always a bit dark inside, i guess to give it that 'rustic' parisian feel, but you get used to it. The Mergez w/ couscous is delicious, and for an entree, dont miss the "Le Surprise"-the best cut of meat I have ever had. Their french fries are delicious, so if you can "afford" it, ask for an extra side (or two) of fries.
