Frommer's Review

The capitalaños seem to be having a love affair with French bistros these days, and this is a perennial hotspot. A direct import from Paris, this always-busy bistro packs in the city's jet set and fashion forward for classic cafe fare. Open 24-hours, it's the best late-night dining option in the city. The main dining room is a spirited scene of activity and conversation, in multiple languages. Two service bars offer singles places to dine without feeling "solo," and other tables are packed in together. Pâtés, cheese plates, and exquisite salads are standard starters. Steak frites, steamed mussels, and the specialty of pied de cochon (pigs' feet) are menu favorites -- meat dishes are especially popular. There's also a raw bar, an excellent selection of French wines, and an ample choice of tequilas. Desserts are classically French and rich.
