Profile

Rather than follow the example of countless Brooklyn-bound restaurateurs before him, Pascal Escriout, the former maître d’ at Artisanal and a neighborhood resident, opted to plug the steak-frites gap in his own backyard. The apparently famished neighborhood fills the 40-seat premises for gently priced fish soup, mussels, homemade foie gras terrine, and plats du jour like cassoulet and coq au vin. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

Brunch

Sat.–Sun., 11 a.m.–3:30 p.m.

Recommended Dishes

Sauteed snails with tarragon butter, $9; braised beef cheek a la bordelaise, $19

Amazing food, great ambiance, and the desserts are to die for. We had the specials a few nights ago. Pork belly is infinitely more delicious than it sounds. For dessert we had some sort of delicious frutty tart. Excellent dining experience.

Magnifique!
