Bringing a soupçon of the "Left Bank" to SoHo, this seasoned French bistro lures fans with its "comforting" cooking vs. cost ratio; ok, there's "no scene" going on, but sidewalk seats provide prime people-watching and the "charmant" staff lives up to the promise of its name.
Solid for decent steak frites, thrifty wine, and patio seats with prime views of voracious Soho consumption. Parisian enough, though al fresco lunches may have you feeling you’re stuck in the food court of a suburban Jersey mall, surrounded on all sides by tanorexic teenagers with "Juicy" branded on their plush, jogging-panted rears.
