Located on an inauspicious stretch of East Fifth Street, Le Tableau is one of those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it East Village French brasseries whose business gets sadly bamboozled by area Goliaths, like Casimir and Jules, whose rabid, rowdy patronage devours steak-frites as though it were the only option in ghetto bistroage. Credit Le Tableau for featuring seasonal menus rife with prix-fixe options and a chef’s tasting menu in five courses, with wine pairings, topping off at $68 per person. Main courses range far and wide depending on the season: Recently you could Berkshire Pork Loin and a seven-spices salmon strudel with sweet corn and fava bean ragout for virtually the same price as your average hanger steak covered in lardy frites. Et pourquoi pas? — Andy Bailey

I love this place. The food is always fabulous and the wines are really interesting - from all over the Mediterranean. Service is charming and the woman running the place is a really cool chic. She took over when her husband passed away and has given the place her own signature already. Definitely better than any other Bistro in the East Village, and most of Manhattan.

French cuisine with a thinly veiled passion

Le Tableau has to be one of New York's "best kept" little secrets. I had dinner there and it was absolutely wonderful.
