About Artisanal Fromagerie and Bistro
With Chef-Proprietor Terrance Brennan (of the Michelin-starred Picholine) at its helm, this modern bistro offers elegant French fare and an astonishing number of rare cheeses in a refined, continental-style setting. While the Art Deco decor and a mural-sized painting evoke 1930s-era France, the true hallmark of this restaurant is the food, which according to
Time Out New York “bring[s] to mind a Chardin still life.” The wine list boasts 160 varietals by the glass, and dinner, brunch and lunch menus offer French classics made with sustainable and organic ingredients whenever possible.
Diners delight in fluffy gougères, rich country pâté, escargots swimming in butter and leek fondue—and those are just the hors d’oeuvres. Main courses include duck bourguignon with chestnut pappardelle, a fall-flavored wild mushroom risotto with pumpkin and sage butter, along with a rotating
plat du jour (which ranges from beef short ribs to bouillabaisse). And no meal here would be complete without a course of cheese, which arrives straight from the aging cave in the back of the dining room.
