La Tartine Bistrot

Frommer's Review

We actually only tried this because of the fierce lineup at next-door Mestiço, but we're glad we did. True, there was a wait here as well, but we could pass the time drinking cocktails in the comfortable and quirky upstairs bar. Both bar and restaurant have a great funky atmosphere, decorated with a profusion of cast-off items -- plastic lunch boxes, shower curtains, tacky postcards, posters and mismatched furniture -- that only a talented decorator could turn into something other than a yard sale. But somehow it works. The menu lists only but a handful of items, mostly simple bistro fare, including several types of quiche with side salads, steak and baked potato, coq au vin, and croque monsieur sandwiches. The dessert menu is even smaller and consists of apple pie and chocolate petit gateau; we can vouch for both.
