39 Rue de Jean

Frommer's Review

You'll think you've been transported back to the Left Bank at this new bistro, which pays homage (exceedingly well) to the classic brasserie cuisine of Paris. Justifiably popular for its inexpensive French cuisine, the restaurant comes complete with a traditional zinc bar, steak frites, and a great bottle of wine. Patio dining is an added attraction. The only incongruous note is the sudden culinary departure into Japanese sushi. All our favorite French appetizers are on the menu, including onion soup, truffle potato soup, and frisée lettuce with bacon lardoons. Each day a special plat du jour is featured, and we always go for that, especially the Sunday rendition of a delectable bouillabaisse. It wouldn't be a Parisian bistro without escargots gratinée, steak frites, and foie gras, and the chefs do these time-honored dishes well. Special features are six preparations of mussels and a whole fish du jour from the marketplace that morning.
