French Food Re-Discovered At Lovely Prices: Tartine

Tartine

This is one of the best French restaurants for a price I'm willing to pay. The first time I was there, I was blown away. Who knew a cream sauce could be so complicated and playful on the tongue? The next time, not so much. The chef changed. So, what can I say? It depends on who is the chef that evening/week. But there is almost always a line, because the tartes are also amazing.

This restaurant was a revelation for me about French cooking. It is, apparently, more than just adding a few teaspoonfuls of cream and serve.

It is also on the coolest corners in the NYC. It is at the intersection of W. 11th Street and W. 4th street. Yes, the streets are screwy around there. Have fun!
