Le Gratin | NYC’s Lyonnais Bistro Gem 🥖✨
Nestled near WTC, this Daniel Boulud-backed bistro serves unpretentious French comfort—with a $60 Restaurant Week steal. Here’s the buttery breakdown: 🍽️ Course-by-Course 🐌 Escargot (+$5) • Garlic-butter pools + crusty bread = lick-the-plate good. 🥩 Hanger Steak (+$10) • Seared-to-pink + red wine glaze = worth the upsell. 🦆 Duck Ham Salad (Free!) • Tangy-sweet + crispy skin bits = sleeper hit. 🐟 Grilled Cod (Free!) • Crispy skin + leek fondue = simple perfection. 🍮 Crème Brûlée • Classic = no drama, no regrets. Hot Take: That "I’m in Lyon?" bread basket? Oui. 💰 Value Verdict ✅ 60 = 3 hearty courses (unlike tiny spots). ✅ Boulud’s touch = peasant food, chef’s flair. ⚠️ Book ahead—cozy = cramped if busy.
