Le Gratin Review: A French Bistro That Actually Delivers! 🇫🇷✨
📍 Le Gratin (inside The Beekman Hotel) 💰 $60 3-course menu (NYC Restaurant Week deal!) Just tried Daniel Boulud’s modern Lyonnaise bistro—and oui, it’s worth the hype! Here’s the full scoop: 🏛️ Vibes Set in a gorgeous historic hotel atrium, this place screams Parisian romance (and Instagram gold 📸). Think: mood lighting, high ceilings, and that *je ne sais quoi*. 🍽️ What We Ordered 🐌 Escargots Gratinés Buttery, garlicky, zero funk—perfect for first-time snail adventurers! 🥩 Steak Tartare (+$5) Silky black Angus beef + perfect seasoning = raw perfection. 🥩 Steak-Frites (+$10) Crispy outside, pink inside—fries are next-level (sorry, McDonald’s). 🐟 Cod Crustée Basquaise Flaky fish + smoky pepper sauce = light but luxurious. 🍫 Chocolate Trio Cake Rich, layered, bittersweet—a must for chocoholics. 🧀 Cheese Board Three cheeses + jam + crackers = fancy way to end. (Warning: Huge portion!) 💡 Why Go? ✔️ Daniel Boulud magic (but less stuffy than his flagship). ✔️ NYC Restaurant Week steal ($60 for 3 luxe courses). ✔️ Air France giveaway (enter to win Paris biz-class tickets!). Team savory or sweet? Would you pick the steak or chocolate cake? Debate below! 👇 #NYCRestaurantWeek #FrenchBistro #DanielBoulud #DateNightNYC
